Differences

We are different that’s what we are, The same but different viewed from near or afar. If I were to write –I love you. That means what it says. Saying and writing are two different verbs but the same in this context, but being inter spread— (The intelligent use of words that are of a complex nature both serving and solving the challenges in the age of digital transformation) Phew!  You see,…

The Teatre of Life

The Theatre of Life Was your role a good part, or was the script just a big mistake? Did the audience applaud, or did they laugh until their bellies did ache?  Were your critics your enemies, or perhaps you found a friend, Unlike those in the wings who could not comprehend? Were you considered unremarkable for most of your time? Did you play in tune or disturb life’s peculiar rhyme? Or,…

I Say

Too old for age

I Say Now I am old, but I only felt really old recently.  In about four weeks time I will be seventy-four-years of age so I have been approaching getting old for a few years, But, as I say, it’s only the last year or so that I have felt old. Maybe we don’t get old until it’s too late to notice. When I can’t take a pill to turn back time, Could I shoot the pharmacist and it not be a…

The Beating Heart

A love only two can share

A star came down from the sky one night,And it floated as if it was just a dream.But from its kiss, it needed to incite,The love it had come to redeem.   A wave did burst upon a stony shoreAnd it swept the rocks away.The star kissed that wave and a flawless rose I sawBound to love it rose above the spray. The star did settle with that waveAnd together they did swear,That earth and Heaven will…

London; The Thirty-first Floor View, by Danny Kemp

London; The Thirty-first Floor View, by Danny Kemp

A vista of trite monotony painted by a rapacious hand. A magnet pulling workers tethered daily by its rubber band. It spreads its tentacles widely in the early hours, To cluster them together locked in its glazed towers. London from above is an abscess on an eye It lacks a soul, passion, and love flowing by. An overshadowed river, no chances to live anew Desolate, forgotten places where life once…

Points Of View

Treat others how you would have them treat you.

Points of View It can take strength to be gentle. It can take a lifetime to become wise.  It can be prudent to be silent. It is not always deceitful to tell lies. There is no such thing in this life as a cast-iron guarantee. There is no such thing as an unchanging state of affairs. It is better to be humble than to be conceited. It is better to save a life than be plagued by…

Animals Are People Too!

I would not use the word superb often nor in some superficial way. I consider this short article, with photographs collected by many people who were privileged to capture these moments with quotes that I myself can find such meaning and value, one feature where the word is not misplaced. For me, this sums up how life should be.

The Innocents

Give me the sleep of the innocent and I would tell the tale Of dreamed of deeds of gallantry then to you, I could regale. When I lived in times of purity before the living abused my mind And I left it abandoned, surrounded by its kind. Those times lived but shortly but in them, there were sown The seeds of ambition which died before fully grown. The lifespan of naivety melted before a…

Woes For Such Farcical Pantomime?

I believe I’m correct in saying that when crowned as King, this weekend coming, Prince Charles, will become ‘the supreme governor’ of the Church of England. As the latest head of the British monarchy, he, alongside the Archbishop of Canterbury, will be head of the Protestant faith, a faith in God which numbers between 800 million and 1 billion followers worldwide. I believe I’m also correct in…
