Infos

This book does exactly as it says on the can, intrigues and tantalizes. Divided into subjects, categories and issues on pretty much every damn subject. A nonstop run of verse from beginning to end. Candid verse spewed like torpedo vomit in a true word raconteur's tradition. If you were born and grew up in a particular city, and in an ever-changing world: witnessed decades of successive governments ignoring you and failing miserably. These poems depict those decades. In particular wasting millions in tax payer's money? Squandering billions on dumped stupid go nowhere projects. Extreme Inequality, seeing corruption, injustices, and crime rates soaring with no accountability. less than five percent of burglary and robberies are solved in the UK. That's one in ten. A quality of life deteriorating before your eyes? You would be joining millions of frustrated others, all over the world in thinking this. If you fall into this category, you are going to love this book. Like me, you will find yourself reminiscing, comparing and relating to what was, and what is now. My particular city is London. This induced me to comprise a comprehensive book of poems and comparisons depicting and voicing my opinions regarding the drastic changes in a city that I once loved. These poems speak volumes and really hit home. Home being the operative word. Being a property entrepreneur; I have had so many. I target just a few in the nostalgia section of this book. Many candid and personal, some jovial, some poignant, some for the good, some for the bad, and some for the ugly. As I write, the world in in the grip of an invisible enemy; a serious COVID-19 pandemic. The USA along with the rest of the world are experiencing devastation, with hundreds of thousands of jobless and homeless citizens turning to alcohol and drugs. Suffering unbearable hardships, extreme poverty and mental illness. Before you get stuck into this book, it is essential that certain critical facts that all humans should acknowledge, accept and absorb. It is vital to go way back in time, here's the basics. Evolution dictates our primal animal instincts, and our existence is and always will be work in progress. But we are not getting it right. Our traits, our actions and decisions we make are born of a subconscious animalistic fear. Fear being the basic primal instinct, the bedrock of life; a survival mechanism in our D N A. The entire living organisms that exist on our wonderous planet. Us humans and the animal kingdom are made up of particles of the universe. Reliant on each other and evolving into predators and prey and succumbing to vulnerability. Certain desires embedded in our genetic makeup and DNA are fundamentally flawed. Such as curiosity, Jealousy, resentment, revenge, greed, anger, love and sexual desires in order to multiply. These human emotions can explode and create havoc. When weakness and vulnerability is shown, in anyway shape or form. Instead of empathy and aid, the exact opposite takes place. There will always be one ruthless demonic rogue to capitalise on weakness. Whether associated with land or country. (A coup d etat) Male or female, young or old. Paedophiles are a case in point. Given enough power arrogant individuals have evolved into Despots and dictators going to any lengths to obtain more power and kudos. We are curious, nave, gullible, easily led, indeed, (need to be led.) History tells us of the thousands of ancient heroic leaders battling wars over territory and distant lands. Land being the operative word, it has always been the land owners that hold the power and wealth controlling peasants and surfs, and more poignant; in order to form armies. We Homo Sapiens are all fundamentally flawed. Once we accept this fact, it becomes far easier to understand why inequality, division wars and conflict have raged throughout the globe for thousands of years. Going as far back as early tribal man. (Safety in numbers.) Other than giant leaps

Textauszug

Chapter One

Profound Verse

Human pandemic

Pollution in the air we breathe, the beast of inequality is growing.

Corrupt and dastardly deeds are committed whilst knowing.

Social media, mis/disinformation, fake news and propaganda continue glowing.

A tsunami of ignorance and hypocrisy begins flowing.

The felling of trees, over fished seas; these are the seeds we are sowing.

Mother nature has warned of a world unadorned, and hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

I sit in bewilderment in my writer’s chair. Thinking only of disaster and despair.

I see war and destruction lingering there.

If fear greed and religion are the seeds we sow?

Back to the drawing board humanity will go.

Whistle-Blowers, the true heroes

No guns, no knifes no punching or fighting.

Whether revealed by speech, or revealed in writing.

Inadvertently witnessing wicked and evil deeds.

Greed induced Ill-gotten gains and proceeds.

Cover-ups and corruption on a grand scale.

Pursuance on an extremely dangerous trail.

Trundling headlong into a nine-force gale.

Yes, it’s on stormy seas the Whistle -Blowers sail.

Knowing full well they could end up dead.

Having learnt information of evil and covert things done or said.

A serious dilemma entrenched in their brain.

Should they speak out or silent remain?

Battling their conscience between right and wrong.

Questioning themselves, do I surrender to weakness, or do I remain strong.

In the depths of their mind, righteousness they finally reach.

Courageously defending the human right of justice and free speech.

Classified documents in their possession, a list that can prove.

Face recognition cameras follow a whistle blower every move.

Family’s threatened, the ultimate dread.

Once truth is revealed, theirs a price on their head.

Refuge is sought, a move to the west.

Clandestine moves in a bullet prove vest.

One wrong move and the chance to escape could be missed.

These unsung courageous heroes could end up on the missing list.

This ineffable attempt is my way of portraying just this. The ultimate price can be paid in the name of Justice.

Vital Organ

There exists in the UK; a humongous property market bubble.

Every conceivable counterproductive step has been taken to avoid inevitable bubble bursting trouble.

If the UK property market was a financial organ, it would be playing out of tune.

All the stops have been pulled out in an effort to prevent the bubble bursting soon.

Low interest rates and incentives will not halt a market correction, where Hyperinflation’s loom.

Sooner or later the UK property market will come crashing down.

Causing a block of foreign Oligarchs to frown.

Queueing up in their thousands to leave old London town.

This is when the UK government realise, that what goes up comes crashing down.

Accountability

What goes on in investment bankers’ brains? Is a residue of cocaine running through their veins?

A position held where sole intentions are gains. It could all become a set of dopamine, oxytocin games.

Not a word passes their lips.

Billions of a bank’s dollars controlled by their fingertips.

Danger lurks when they are on a roll.

Driven to score the ultimate bonus goal.

Their just dealers, it’s not their assets they risk.

When a few billion dollars go on the missing list

Billions can be gained or billions lost?

The bottom-line is at the banks and shareholder’s cost.

Clandestine decisions are often made in the city.

When it goes tits up, where’s the accountability?

The insider’s golden rule. Hardly ever is someone made accountable.

Antisocial media

Propaganda and falsified polls, adding insult to injury are the shit for brains Trolls.

Millions of people expressing their views.

Like lemmings spreading lies and fake news.

Quacks, self-appointed experts, and attention seekers.

Conspiracy theorists; doom and gloom grim reapers.

Bill Gates has a master plan, Covid 19 doesn’t exist; it’s a conspiracy.

Silicon chips injected into you and me.

Then there’s the patronising remarks. (just you wait and see.)

Implanting negativity into societies minds.

As the anxiety statistic rapidly climbs.

Can Facebook and Twitter get any seedier?

There is nothing social about the social media.

UH OH! Donald

President Trump, along with seventy-four million voters, it’s obvious you are enraged.

It’s significant that you have gone too far, spouting your mouth off, before your brains engaged.

It comes as no surprise, as to why the whole worlds outraged.

You should have accepted your loss of your second-year term, and gracefully walked away.

In doing so, it would let the democrats know, you would live to fight another day.

The big Techs have now rendered you dumbstruck, and with frustration you are bursting.

But your big mouth has resulted in six deaths, due to the incitement you were blurting.

Instant reactions out of fury have been your downfall from the start, and the beginning of the end.

Your lack of presidential finesse and etiquette led to disastrous outcomes you can’t possibly defend.

Bye… bye the Donald

The world feared Donald trump, which wasn’t a bad thing.

He certainly was true to his word when making signings in the west wing.

Joe Biden is undoing all that Donald achieved.

Upsetting seventy-five million ordinary Americans, erasing what they believed.

Mr. trump may not have had style.

But he kept the world entertained for a while.

He didn’t raise from the ranks like boring elitist politicians, what did the populous expect?

The leftist hated him; feared him from the get go and showed no respect.

Big Tech and back stabbers twisted the knife, and finally brought him down.

President Biden and Vice president Kamala Harris will be left crying the tears of a clown.

The CCP are glad to see the back of Donald trump, reason being he stood up to them and took no shit.

Unlike Biden, Harris and Pelosi who are winging it.

CCP Financial temptation

Getting their foot in the door is China’s ultimate aim worldwide.

Offering money to top officials with a life changing bribe?

Bribing their way around the globe planting the seeds of exploitation.

Targeting a person’s greed, in pursuance of global domination.

This underhanded tactic is the oldest trick in the book. Crooked officials drawn in and tempted by a financial fishing hook. Those in power, the decision makers are all on the take. Global Vassal states left in the CCP’s wake. Jobless indigenous people abandoned in what once was their town. The Chinese Communist party have no qualms about kicking you when you’re down.

Do some research, there’s plenty of proof. It’ll take a Whistle-blower to expose the truth.

Once the bait is taken, blackmail can be the instigator.

After all, who want’s the threat of being labelled a traitor?

Communities undone

Ramifications not considered when

Working -class generations are swept aside.

It is happening in the UK and London, and it is happening worldwide.

People’s destinies ruled by the elitist decisions made, and by what town planners and local authorities decide.

Thriving communities throughout cities, London’s Portobello Road being my case in...
