It’s even stranger… (poetry)

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

It’s even stranger

Than we could have feared

Like a hurtling train

That’s not being steered

It’s just so plain

And obviously clear

They want us all

Living in fear

Manufactured

And manipulated

A ridiculous set up

They’ve now created

That we are allowing

And watching unfold

When now is the time

We need to be bold

Just how much longer

Do we follow their lead

Pretending we have to

Instead of this need

To throw it all down

Enough has been done

They’ve got to admit

They had a good run

But who in our history

When proved they have lied

Did ever be graceful

And just step aside

Nobody

The tension is building… (poetry)

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

The tension is building

It almost has taste

While all around us

They’re laying to waste

All that is good

And what came before

Taking and taking

But still wanting more

More of your life

Your time and your thought

They want people fearful

To be scared and distraught

But not all the folk

Are playing their game

Not everyone folded

And took on the shame

Instead, they held firm

And went with their heart

Seeing a darkness

Creep in from the start

Whatever is coming

It seems we can’t hide

So as it gets closer

We each must decide

Just where it is

That we want this to go

There’s no time to dither

And say you don’t know

~

Because if you don’t decide, they will

If you find yourself in need of a book for world book day…

Most of my books are detailed below and there are more in the pipeline.

The Willing Observer – Fictional autobiography of a stalker/psychopath breaking down their methodology

A Parallel Abyss – A paranormal horror thriller

The Unknown – Horror/sci-fi story of a virus that changes the world (that one might not be an escape as such, but isn’t along the same lines as what is going on).

Under the Apple Tree and other short stories – Six short creepy stories, each with a twist – two of these are available to read on here if interested. Clocking Off and Doctors Visit.

Meeting in the Middle of Nowhere – A non-fiction book discussing the differences between Aphantasia and Hyperphantasia.

Sometimes life… (poetry)

~ MKW Publishing ~ 2 Comments

Sometimes life

Can seem quite hard

A need to be constantly

On your guard

Against yourself

And the world you see

When all you wanted

Was to simply be

But it got tough

And really quite gritty

Blow after blow

Made it real shitty

And for a time

It all seemed bleak

A search for some calm

While trying to speak

Shouting out loudly

Not saying a word

Everyone’s listening

Yet nothing gets heard

So day after day

One can but try

To make the best of it

And to apply

A new perspective

An alternative thought

For something different

Don’t sell yourself short

~

You’re worth more than that
