Plagiarism might be flattery, but making money out of someone’s work is immoral.
And they shed the miner’s collar / With education, not a lucky strike.
Poem about my family, my father’s suicide, my own sense of purpose.

This was one of the schools they sent me to during my teacher-training in 1981. Netherley is an outskirt of Liverpool; and I was there at the time of the Toxteth Riots. The only day I took off sick the pupils rioted: bricks through windows, teachers spat on as they were kicked to the floor. Just goes to show what happens if I take my omnipotent stare of anything for a minute. More to the point (what with the canings and the revolting, smug or lackadaisal inmates of the Staff Room) the kids had my fullest sympathy. I dreaded school when I was a child: the rituals and restrictions, the bullies, the boredom. I had one illness after another and taught myself all I needed to know from my parents’ marvellous books. As Quentin Crisp commented, “Education is the biggest waste of time the world has ever known.”

Haiku, traditionally of nature but now contemporary tends to be accepted. Many confuse the 5-7-5 structure to mean syllable, it’s not it means beat. Counts are guide only and as few as you can get away with to lead with two lines and reveal with the other. A haiku is three lines but several -usually three can be joined to make a chain these should stand alone as well as in chain. There are other takes on haiku which have slight variation on the form.
The following morning I left in perfect time to catch the next train to Liverpool (during which time I switched my purple sports bag stra…
Part two, for those of you intrepid enough to venture this far
Yes I remember I was in school, / teachers tryna make me learn / I barely understand,
Its about what you get out of education rather than degrees you have. / That is what I wanted to capture.Successful or not I don’t know / Atleast I didn’t let my “Studies Interfere with my education”
I look deep to discover the resistance to my shadow, an inherent human quality, finally recognizing the cost of denial rooted to my past …

I set myself next to her and began to read out loud translating the forbidden words into a language she knew and understood.
