DAILY POEM " THE HOUSING ESTATES"

Concrete Jungle
were there is no hope
no prospects ahead
just a life with dope.


Criminals are rife
no one cares
the well off drive by
and everyone stares.


Unemployment soars
living off the state
nothing to live for
no jobs they create.


Kids grow wild
tearing things apart
dogs run ownerless
nowhere to start.


No sign of greenery
trees chopped down
masses of stone
a desolate Town.


Police coast daily
numerous arrests
single mothers pregnant
after taking the tests.


No one goes to school
their education lost
millions of taxes
counting the cost.


Government ignores
these shocking places
a seperate community
blackened faces.


Centres closed down
no money to spare
then they wonder why
no one will care.


Barbed wire fences
around the estate
shops with metal windows
scared of their fate.


Muggings every night
scared to go out
doors fully bolted
from fear and doubt.


What is the answer?
no one knows
were poverty breeds
negativity grows.


There are many places we can all relate to, were it is like the land that time forgot, poor areas are all over the World, places were the forgotten are left to cope with poverty, unemplyoment, and neglect,sadly in 2012 these places still exist, people are left to get on with it amidst criminal activity, high child birth, and lack of education.

DAILY POEM THE OPPOSITES IN LIFE.

You love, you hate
your up, your down
your in, your out
you smile, you  frown.


You laugh, you cry
you see, your blind
you eat, you starve
you lose,  you find.


You scream, you go mute
you come, or you go
your happy, your sad
you die or, you grow.


You like, you loathe
your free, your in chains
you think, you imagine
you use your brains.


you promote, you ignore
you get up, you fall down
you keep a poker face
you float, or you drown.


you smile, you frown
you give, you take
your either a real person
or merely a fake.


you rise, you fall
you war, or like peace
you enter, you leave
you start, or you cease.


you swim, or you sink
you walk, you run
you are either serious
or prefer to have fun.


a play on words, the opposite of everything can be positive or negative.

DAILY POEM GOOD TIMES, BAD TIMES.

Blinkered by the madness
going on around
we put up with stress
hit hard to the ground.


We go through our day
hoping its cool
having a laugh
playing the fool.


But deep down we cry
with all the pain
like a dulling sound
of beating rain.


We lift our mood
try to smile
at the end of the day
its all worthwhile.


Our defences high
keeping everyone out
we scream, we despair
and shout about.


We turn to drugs
down the booze
to help us out
lenghten the fuse.


But is it worth it
no way in hell
we think out loudly
find an ear to tell.


Another day comes
we start anew
hoping good things
will come to you.


Sometimes we have a good day, other times its bad, but at the end of the day we only have one kick at the ball, and it is up to us to make it as pleasant as possible :)

DAILY POEM "A WALK IN THE PARK"

White flowers
growing wild
loving the weather
because its mild.

Mums with buggies
in the park
babies with bottles
hitting the mark.

Dogs of all sizes
chasing a ball
some are tiny
others are tall.

Green keeper busy
doing his rounds
fish ponds cloudy
out of bounds.

Blissful place
park benches full
a maintenace man
using his tool.

Picnics laid
time to eat
get some rest
put up your feet.

Its time to go
the kids are sad
toddlers sleepy
carried by dad.

A day in the park
is what you need
so visit one soon
its priceless indeed.

We all have access to a park, its escapism from the every day husstle and busstle of life, a place were we can all go as a family, have fun, enjoy the day.

DAILY POEM "NEVER ENDING WARS"

Blissfully we seek harmony
whats wrong with that?
peace for every nation
we need it stat.


War amongst people
almost everyday
just because Governments
won't let them say.


We all have a right
to live without fear
to cherish and love
all we hold dear.


But war won't let us
it sneaks in the door
the horror, the murder
worse than before.


What is the answer?
no one really knows
so we settle for bloodshed
and take all the blows.


Will anything be left?
as we destroy all around
will peace ever win
can love be found?


Wake up and smell the coffee
it could happen to you
once civilised countries
are torn and blue.


It's hellish to see
when you turn on the news
people dying
turning the screws.


It appears the World is on the brink of disaster, wars still ravage certain countries, people are dying daily, and no one seems to have the answers?

DAILY POEM " JUST ONE MISTAKE"

He tried very hard to fit in
but no one gave him a chance
a new guy in a new hood
a new life he hoped to enhance.


Forgetting the bad times he had
in that old horrific life 
all he wanted was peace
an end to the strife.


Attending many schools
they always got their way
his life was made hell
nearly every day.


A fight that ended in death
they called it self defense
but no one would ever forget
it never made any sense.


Another kid pulled a knife
he had no choice at all
having to defended himself
or he would probably fall.


Reputation followed him
no matter were he went
always leading to challenges
with no peaceful intent.


Someone bigger and stronger
wanted to take him on
but always he would avoid them
before the day had gone.


Eventually he had to pull out
be educated out of school
despite his reputation
he wasn't any fool.


One mistake in your life
follows you all your days
no one ever forgives you
no matter what anyone says.


I bet a lot of people can relate to this poem, either personally or they know of such a person, everyone deserves a second chance in life, we are often to quick to judge.
one mistake can follow you forever, especially when you are young and have to go to school, college or University.
Thanks for reading :)

DAILY POEM "AS WINTER SUBSIDES"

I long for the time
when the sun will shine
when the days are longer
everything is fine.


To get rid of Winter
and all it entails
when you start to dream
and nothing fails.


The sun makes you smile
your alive  when you wake
fills you with energy
gives you a break.


The rays give you color
when your outdoors
go for nice walks
open  doors.


The fresh smell of spring
through an open window
things come alive
then  lovingly they grow.


As the long spell fades
of cold and ice
there's nothing more beautiful
when the weather is nice.


So lets look forward
to the sun shine days
when all is harmonious
and will amaze.


It has been a long long winter as always, its always nice when you start to see the spring growth in your garden, it is indeed a sign of better weather to come. A time when the days are longer and brighter and there is heat in the sun.

DAILY POEM "A TRIBUTE TO AN ICON"

After we make love
your all the man I need
Didn't we almost have it all
Exhale.


Do you hear what I hear?
anymore?
Greatest love of all
get it back.


Hold on!
how will I know?
I believe in you
I bow out.


I have nothing!
I belong to you
I learned from the best
I look to you.


I wanna dance with somebody
if you say my eyes are beautiful
It's not right ,but it's okay
I wanna run to you.


Joy to the World
lover for life
one of those days
I'll run to you.


One moment in time
saving all my love for you
where do broken hearts go?
you'll never stand alone!


Thinking about you
until you come back
step by step
you give good love.


This is a tribute to one of the finest singers ever produced. traumatically taken away at the tender age of 48.
Everyone whether they admit it or not, enjoyed Houstons long career starting from an early age, her sons are an institution and will live on for all time.

R.I.P Whitney ,gone but never forgotten.

DAILY POEM "LETS HAVE A DUVET DAY"

Lets have a DUVET day
forget about the strife
take a day off work
enjoy your life.


Lay in all day
watchin day time TV
you know its for the best
its were you want to be.


Work can wait
settle right in
forget about the dishes
or emptying the bin!


Let the kids run riot
forget about your woes
just make sure your comfy
and cover up your toes.


Forget about the money
it isn't the end of time
enjoy your duvet day
it isn't a human crime.


You feel much better
a day of R&R
get yourself a drink
snuggle up to the bar.


At the end of the day
you need some me time
no one will suggest it to you
enjoy, while in your prime.


We all need some time, to relax, forget about our stressful days, why don't we all have a duvet day, forget about work, the kids, the bills, and just have a ME day, go on have one today :)

DAILY POEM "WINTER MORNINGS"

wake up
to a sideways World
alarm still beeping
toes curled.


One foot out
of the cozy bed
frozen solid
starting to dread.


Where is your nightgown
plumped on the chair
too far to reach
your body is bare.


Run to the lou
damn its cold
whether your young
or getting old.


Turn on the shower
water uninviting
must get in
damn its frightening.


Too lazy to shave
the night before
so you must do it now
then run out the door.


No time to eat
you took your time
the weather takes its toll
when in your prime.


Be organized this time
do everything at night
or suffer the same shit
in the break of light.

The long cold winter mornings take their toll, I bet all of you who read this go through the same day in and day out, at least when the weather is warmer we can cope, but when its freezing its a nightmare, isnt it? lol
