I'm into politics. On the left. Lived experience of mental illness. Schizoaffective disorder.
Love books, science, poetry, music, and life. You only get one life. Don't be an arsehole. Play nice.

When everywhere you look, our world is imploding.
When it's too overwhelming.
Take a break from social media.
Turn off the tv.
Put some tunes on.
Lose yourself in music conjured smiley memories.
Dance if you're able
Be fierce, be free
Whilst the storm rages.
No shame for a while in hiding.

Our mother can not give us succour whilst we strip her to the bone
Indifference cuts through her thinning skin
Trampling gold fevered over her broken body
Her screams unheard as we blindly head to the edge
Fate bound to the end

This is Sir Richard Dearlove who ran MI6 when British intelligence was spinning a web of lies to get the UK into the murderous and illegal Iraq War. He also wanted the hardest possible Brexit. So he’s both blood soaked and an idiot. He is a danger to Britain’s interests.

One woman shot dead in Minnesota and already the noise moves on.
A mother. A life. Reduced to a headline and a shrug.
Violence against women is treated as background static
Names fade. Patterns remain.
A society that cannot sit with one death long enough to change will keep making room for the next.

When I play with words
I pour myself upon the page
Vulnerable and brave
From happy days to Sorrows exposed
All the beauty
All the ugliness
down to bone
Written in poetry and prose
When I play with words
I am me
A story to be freed

I can't swear that hope alone will be enough to weather every storm
But it can be a refuge from a raging tempest
A light to follow home
Until the darkest of clouds scatter
Hope is a new dawn breaking with a day full of promise

Unhook ourselves from oil and gas and we unhook ourselves from dependency on dictators, autocrats and expansionist regimes all over the planet.
Renewables and other low-carbon energy sources are not just good climate sense. They are also good political sense.

War doesn't begin with shots fired
It starts with words
Whispers that leak from backrooms into the realm of public discourse ever growing louder
Silencing voices of dissent
With propaganda
Until primed we proudly wave our flags as the bullets fly
And the first of millions die

I tried to write a poem
I let it swirl and formulate
An idea
A thought
A written word
Flowing out of me
It seemed to gel as it unfurled
I thought I had it captured
But all intention had fled
As I read it back
A sigh of exasperation left my lips
It wasn't poetry
It was shit
