**Rinse And Repeat**

sands of time
trickle unnoticed out
of an hourglass stuck
at half tilt while
a distant sun makes its way
through another
broken morning of skies
crashing down around us
before fading
into the dust of the
#history we learnt to
laugh about because
tomorrow is
just the same

**Candle In The Wind*

Panicked guttering follows
A cold fingered touch of air
Heavy with winter's malice
As shadows turn and #shift
In a flickering dance with
The soft glow of candlelight
A two toned caress of
Deep black and golden flame
So filled with sorrow
That the wind stills
With sympathy

**Nothing But The Hits!**

A new song
Is all we ask for
But it's the same
Tired old words
Every time
We turn on the radio
Yet what do we
Expect when anyone
With anything to say
Is just a cover band
And like fools
We keep
Buying the albums
Because who doesn't
Need another #dose
Of repackaged truths?

**It's Just Logical**

What if my ghost writer were
Lines of code
Housed on some machine
What earnestness of verbiage
Mingled with
What #galore of processed words
I might create
But when innermost thoughts
And creativity
Are confined by the limits of logic
Can we call it art
And is it even
Mine

**Follow The Leader**

What powers
Of persuasion are these
That we feel the need
To move as one
To abandon all thought
For ourselves
In the passionate pursuit
Of a single minded
Obsession
Falling without question
Into line
How #massive
A failing it is
That we follow so blindly
So called leaders
