Red Water Within


With an air of prediction
the troubled public leaks;
sewage birds and tributaries.

Licensed killing aids
an electric of wildlife;
untreated and toxic.

Pumping red records; the
company is unprecedented.
Secretary Water to General Fish.

Credulity Open Overtures


even more by the questions morning dismiss address
reassure overtures obsolete after all hard going
absolutely no vision came surrounding going inner

attacks on media comments took place in a softer light
individual liberties lost sparring tweeting no credulity
a free and times adversarial press democracy as we know it

out of their hands a door remains open
we have moved on the last thing legal obstacles and
electoral backlash what happens harder tone of reprieve

An Unbelievable Battleground


The world is currently an exodus of people
A clash between thousands
Brutal conflicts arise

A surge of demonstrations
Against a nemesis
Millions are desperate for change

People wish for
An extraordinary miracle, but
Will there ever be a victory?

With Atmospheric Ubiquity


An Internet shrine made to celebrate the real world,
in patterns humans alone could not follow,
like Sufi songs drifting over highest Peru.

Hundreds of devotees have since been injured
in the restoration of the weather monarchy.
And who is that giant fraud bomber, they said,

moving unknowingly around crowded public places,
helping to deliver death and corruption?
It's King Loon on rollerblades.

Victorian Media Mansion


A narrow road with unoccupied mansion,
parked cars which water the waste
squatters who moved despite lawyers.

The Victorian era created social media
in a flooding, largely, screaming abuse
at oligarch and sewerage services.

Water the fight against water waste
to highlight inequality to contribute
to a five-year plan to knock him out.

Breakthough: We Learned the Risk


Divorce could end in a fist fight

Impossible to read their thoughts

Kill Our Galaxy


His heart is a void
She told the Moon - a long term case
One that could result in a catastrophic kill.

A collision course,
hurtling at 1.2 million miles an hour
A woman and a man met in space

But now, leave a note
Online, on the Earth, the Moon
A court document for space, 65 billion years from now.

Core of Loneliness


Living in the blue room
Ripped away from an iron core
Bodies that almost became notorious

Looking back can make you feel captured
You feel safer being a secret
At the cost of a terrible fate

Strangely the loneliness below the surface
Is a happy chain of stories
Across the ice searching for comfort

The Street Plotting


The former stable girl
A would-be killer
Own up or flee the scene.

Horses worth up to £300,000
Inside a church in Limoeiro de Anadia
Roared off down the street

Furious after her ex-partner Alan Suckling
Was plotting to take out a father and son
Of all places – in front of the house of a CCTV buff.

Death of Readers


Our homeland is not losing,
It is a battle of hundreds of thousands
To stop the bungled debate of the individual.

When we learned about the order,
We said it is to stop,
And signed below.

We are the refugee,
And we will launch their hunt,
For we are the refugee.
