Briefly, several suns light up the horizon
and burn the world, this fragile land
torn by hands, ripped apart
on the consensus of one
behind the black door, no prize,
and as enough money is spent destroying
our souls that would feed
and give shelter to the homeless,
to the child in our schools, food to eat,
nurses the reason to feel valued,
but oh no, not now, not in our name,
we want you to hate today, this phantom trick,
to make you scared, and then the accusations

There have been many shameful periods in the history of the country, especially since World War Two ended and the thought of big Government in all its forms has risen its various ugly and uncaring heads to take on big organisations and labour.

The wound is healed, new skin
grown and you cannot see
the join, where the ribs were exposed
to the harsh light of the surgeon’s eye
in the centre of his forehead, bones
but no muscles, convulsing, pumping,
in and out, in and out
watered down blood
now coursing through proper veins
and on time, you cannot see the join,
but I can, I still feel the tick
of the open pulse, I see the pain
of open heart surgery before me
and left exposed for a month,

No matter how long you spend away from the pursuit of creativity, given just a single moment in the company of one who can present the muse with generosity and with a keen eye for your own heartbeat’s desire, soon enough you find your way back to the place in which the diverted sign post sent you down a road which was fulfilling and wholesome but to which arguably caused you to be immersed too long, you studied every notch and cranny in this place and now soon enough the urge to sing once again is paramount.

We are nothing but flesh and bone that walks an Earth that is often painful, frequently bitter and habitually elusive. We find our way only by listening carefully to our souls, by wandering, often without hope or company, that one hand in the darkness that gives us reassurance, until finally through the dark, the clawing mist and the years of doubt, we succeed in the treasure of the universe as we Find A Light to guide us to our natural surroundings.

When the battle cry is over, all that is left running and garnering admiring looks from the stunned but energised crowd who witness the spin of the wheels and the heat, the sheer plume of fire and smoke that comes out of the exhausts and causes the thin layer of reason between Earth and the sky to cloud over and mingle in the sound of an engine beating with excitement, when all is said and done, only the Thunderbird remains.

The trailer always moves on, by an artist’s own definition it cannot remain in the same place forever, how else would the same scenery inspire the muse or its creator to keep on producing new and exciting material if that were the case.

It is only apt that in the times we find ourselves in that Communism should be once more a topic of serious debate, that the works of Karl Marx, in the bicentenary of his birth, and that of Friedrich Engels should be considered an alternative to the unpalatable rhetoric that comes with the ever diminishing responsibility that Capitalism has shown to be grateful to shed.
