Of War & Peace

'Ballad For The dead'  Day by day as we witness new wars, this poem asks a few questions and asks you to remember that "War is the first step for the barbaric, and the last for the civilized."

'Visions' I wrote this in a hospital bed when  recovering from a small war wound.  It was then I started to think maybe love & peace were not such bad philosophies

'A New Day Dawns' was one of my first pieces of writing that dealt with the fear of nuclear holocaust that everyone thought was  inevitable in the early seventies. 

'A Childs Lament' also deals with nuclear weapons, but here I am looking at things from a completely new angle, that of the atomic bomb itself.  Well, it's always best to look at all perspectives.

'Naked Flames Of Twilight' This dates from the early eighties, and reflects upon a very traumatic period in my life, where despair and self pity came trough. But a good combination of words make it worth showing

'Tomorrows Song' is an extract from the Eagle & Dove and based on a old traditional Gypsy song.  It's about heartache and loss and how to come to terms with it. 

'Lost Dedication' is for all the ones I have loved and lost myself.  During my travelling days, there were many people I met and grew to love on the road, this is for them.

'Reflections' is an attempt to try and come to terms with the end of my life 'on the road',   After seventeen years of constant globetrotting.  Living free as an eagle is a dream few can realise, but inevitably reality must finally catch up. 

'Advice to a Friend' is basically for anyone thinking of becoming a politician.  If that's you, then you had better read this  - and who knows; it may just help!

'Acceptance Or Not' Some of us thrive on diversity, others hate things to be changed or different.  Whatever your personal preference, read this and decide for yourself what is right.

Reason For Thought' This is an odd one I have thrown in for no other reason than to give you a few words to think about. 

'Sign of the times' Nothing stands still, and the world keeps on turning. But do you know where your going? Do you like this change? Whatever our choices, we must adapt or die.
