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.
When it's too overwhelming.

I'm cash-strapped
Skint, sod all to speak of
I look for coins in my sofa
But dust and crumbs
Won't feed me
Supermarket shelves groan
Under the weight of produce
Mocking me
As I stuff down hunger and tears
My country is rich
My pockets lie empty

Sometimes I'm quiet
Still as stone
I take no vow of silence
Yet I am voiceless
I sit hushed
My thoughts run slowly
Every noise magnified
The clock tick tocks
The fridge hums relentlessly
Old pipes creakily groan
Day runs into night
Severed from the world
I am alone

Songs that dance in my mind
Releasing rivers of feelings
Rich with memory
Tears run into smiles
Remind me of all I have won
And all I have lost
As needed as air
Repairing tears
The days I rip
Without music
Would life still sing

ps. Some dinosaurs also wrongly call the Greens' messaging "populist" because they're still stuck in their own media strategies of the 1990s. Things have changed. Folk are now swamped with info from multiple platforms 24/7. The way to break through that is with clear and above all HONEST messaging.

Stepping into
An ebony night
Bitter winds
Whipping her bones
Scurrying to the
corner shop
For baccy
Paying cash from a
crumb lined pocket
Says cheers mate
lights a cig
Knowing her fate
Happy and Coughing
