This is a poem every one thinks about but few are brave enough to write.
I once sat down and thought about all those who believe we owe apologies for the mistakes our ancestors made, but in the end only our ancestors owe apologies to each other not, and this is the poem that came from that thought process
He thought. They called it failure.

I appreciate everybody whith his or her religion, because i also believe that most of the people on this planet are in search for the same things no matter what religion. Those who use belief to create hatred and murder use it contrary to the message of faith. / Because what ever differences may exist in all the different churches that we hold, one thing they all have in common.

If only I had a religion / As a key to the marital bed / I don’t have a devil to blame.
This is inspired by a number of images and texts I’ve seen on RB
Aboriginal really cannot be interpreted logically, nor rationalised or intellectualised, no matter our need or reason to do so; It is an …
Been reading a lot of interesting, disturbing and even reactionary and derogatory POVs on RB in the last few days … it seems, war, religion, politics, racism, patriotism and such-like are hot-topics for quite a few amongst this artistic and creative fraternity … thought I’d throw-in a perspective that I wrote just on 6 years ago … cheers…

Held back / By people who / Patronize / And deride / Labelled / By men / Whose eyes have not yet / Seen the light
A poem I wrote about the role of religion, and one of my reasons for my non-belief (infidel that I am). I think that, perhaps, there may be many out there who share these same ideas. Written on 25 February 2009. Featured in Up and Coming Writers.

The almighty and final nothingness The quietus of our soul
I don’t write very often… only when I feel compelled to. This was something overwhelming that I just had to write… it came from deep in my gut and heart. Always unanswered questions…. questions that only I can answer with my own faith and soul truth. It’s not been edited (only my own revisions). Any thoughts on revisions will be welcomed.

Grief finds strange ways to make us feel.
First entitled Grief-stricken by the 23rd Psalm and featured in the All Out Emotion group Reworked for a poetry slam challenge on November 21 to include the words Against All Odds My beautiful sister Barbara has been tasked on at least two occasions with reading Psalm 23. I’ve heard it many many times, but when I am at an emotionally-charged funeral (such as my Dad’s on 4 November 1997, or my Grandma’s on 18 July 2009), I sometimes find myself with a disassociative thing happening. This poem represents my attempt to meld some of those thoughts which tumble through my grieving mind.

You moved on but memory left behind / Of darker days they serve us to remind
