Some  Poems. Some serious, some funny and some just plain old poems.

Some took a long time to write, some just a few minutes but all heartfelt.

Well not all but most.

I hope you like them.

I cry a thousand tears and some

As I hear the children cry

In the name of peace and someone’s God

I watch them as they die

I cry a thousand tears and some

As hunger sweeps the earth

We stockpile food in mountains

Then count how much it’s worth

I cry a thousand tears and some

At children’s bulging eyes

Hunger in their bellies

And Noses full of flies

I cry a thousand tears and some

As a mother rocks her child

The air is full of cordite

A young girl lays defiled

I cry a thousand tears and some

As one by one we fall

Muslims, Jews and Christians

All answering the call

I cry a thousand tears and some

When I hear the soldiers shout

Our God is the right God

Then we wipe each other out

It’s been this way forever now

For a hundred thousand years

It will be the same tomorrow

As we cry a thousand tears

As the sun goers down over our home town

The sky burns rustic red

I look back on an amber track

And remember things you said

When you whispered low how you love me so

For me your soul you'd sell

Well your deceit turned up the heat

While the devil rots in hell

So here's to you your future too

May all your dreams fulfil

For my head aches with the work it takes

To think about you still

As you depart with my torn heart

The sun slips slowly down

Blood runs cold, life's on hold

As I wait in our hometown
