TOO MUCH NOISE
THERE'S SO MUCH NOISE IN HERE
CAN'T HEAR
WHAT YOU ARE SAYING TO ME
IS IT PERSONAL OR SOCIETY
TALK ONE AT A TIME
AND MAKE YOUR SENTENCES RYHME
I FEEL A POEM COMING ON
I FEEL AN ARTISIC EVENT
ABOUT TO EXPLODE IN MY MIND
THERE IS A MESSAGE
THAT IS GETTING DISSOLVED
THERE IS AN EGO
THAT IS GETTING RESOLVED
BUT ARE WE GETTING
ONE STEP CLOSER TO FREEDOM?
WHAT STEP WERE YOU ON BEFORE?
WHAT DOOR
WERE YOU ABOUT TO OPEN
TELL ME BABE WHAT WAS IT'S LABEL?
WAS EQUALITY REALY ON THE TABLE?
OR WAS IT JUST ROAST BEEF AND YORKSHIRE PUDDING?
AN ETHNIC MIX OF COMFORT FOOD
LITTLE ENGLANDER IN A CAFTAN SMILE?
ANOTHER SAFE TARGET ONCE AGAIN
THOSE WHITE NON DISABLED HETROSEXIST MEN
WHO LOOK AT YOU IN THE MIRROR IF YOU DECIDE TO BUY IT
WHO'LL REFLECT YOUR LABLELLING PROCESS IF YOU WANT TO TRY IT.
THE NOISE
IS INVENTED BY THE BOYS
YOUR CAN LISTEN
OR IGNORE IT
YOU CAN IGNORE IT OR
SEND A MESSAGE
LIKE A KNIFE
THAT YOU POSSESS
YOU CAN KEEP IT
UNDER YOUR DRESS
IF YOU WISH
IF YOU CHOOSE
IT'S A PERSON'S RIGHT TO CHOOSE
IT'S A LOSERS RIGHT TO LOSE
IT'S ALL OUR RIGHTS TO PLAY THE GAME
EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT THE SAME
IN FACT DIFFERENCE IS THE NAME OF THE GAME.
TOO MUCH NOISE
NOISY PEOPLE
TALKING OVER EACH OTHER
LIKE SISTER AND BROTHER
TOO MUCH NOISE
DROWING OUT
WHAT ANYONE'S TALKING ABOUT
TOO MUCH NOISE
FOR MY HEARING AID
WHICH IS COMMON SENSE
TO COME OFF THE FENCE
AND FREE OUR PEOPLE
FROM THE VIOLENCE
FROM ABUSE AND RAPE
TOO MUCH NOISE
FROM THE BACK ROOM
GIRLS AND BOYS
TOO MUCH NOISE.
TWO ANGELS
Two angels set apart
Two angels tugging at my heart
growing up in ignorance
doesn’t add up to common sense
tearing me in two
Invisible to almost everyone
divisible by minus one
impossible to resolve
for my aching sole to hold
segregation pain
growing up alone
from the soul that could be called home
calling home calling home
on the web or the telephone
hey dad I miss you
for the father far away
today or on another day
to the daughter who would miss me
to the daughter who would kiss me
from the broken shores of the usa
I wish I could fill the space
and take another place
bring it altogether
bring it all back home
divided by our hate and ego
united by our love for others
can we all be included in the place that we call home?
ASEXUAL LOVE POEM
I wish i was a worm
that wriggles squirms and splits
that hasn't got a penis
that hasn't got no tits
it doesn't need a girlfriend
marriage or divorce
it lies around and fucks itself
and is trod on by a horse
it cannot write a poem
it cannot sing a note
its sanity's unquestioned
and it's priviledged not to vote.
MARRIAGE
YOU’RE GOOD IN BED ALTHOUGH YOU PISS IT
YOU DO MY HEAD IN BUT I WOULDN’T MISS IT
YOU’RE AN EGOTISTICAL JEALOUS GIT
I MIGHT BE A MACHO MACHOCHIST
BUT I LIKE IT
I’M A WIND UP MERCHANT FROM THE STREETS OF HELL
I CAN MAKE YOU MAD AND I CAN DO IT SO WELL
I’M A TORTURED SOUL
BLOWING HOT AND COLD
BUT I’M GETTIN OLD
YOU’RE LOW ON SELF IMAGE THAT’S WHY YOU DO WHAT YOU DO
YOU SHOUT AND SCREAM JUST TO GET YOU THROUGH
IF WE GET DIVORCED I KNOW YOU’LL SUE
THAT’S WHY I LOVE YOU
I’M AFRAID OF YOU
I SOMETIME SUPPOSE THAT IM JUST PLAIN WRONG
I COMPOSE A POEM OR WRITE A SONG
ABOUT A PERSON I’VE KNOW VERY WELL ALL ALONG
IT’S A LOVE THING
IT MAKES ME SING
AND I THINK ABOUT YOU
