Alas the day the poetry book

Alas the day is my first poetry book and contains the poems Alas the day, London town and more . The book is available to buy through the shop on this website and via the Amazon website.

Alas the day, alas the night, when the voices cease and the words run from the page. When men, women, boys and girls are deprived through repression, oppression, racism and hate. And there is education of an age.

Because sadly for many on the planet earth, there is much about which to rage. And as they say the whole world is a stage. And unfortunately with freedom of speech, although it is a great thing, Many do not use their words wisely.

And in the newspapers and in the magazines and online and on the radio and on the television. What do we see? Violence of all kinds and people being unkind to each other and far too frequently. And we constantly also see stories of mostly unhappiness and misery.

And salacious stories are printed and shouted about in public constantly. By cat show hosts and journalists and gossip colonists who happily make money from people’s misery. And it is a tragedy.

And it is not the way it should be. And I wish we could banish negativity from society. And make the world a more positive place to be.

And it is a battle that we fight constantly. But on we must go with the show. And although we try to smile through it all.

The constant negative stories are apocryphal. And I try my best to rise above it all. And many others do too.

But what does the human race do about it all? Very little indeed. And sadly many people do not have time to try and make a difference. As they are too busy.

Racing around like crazy and working too hard. And struggling to feed, clothe and house their families. Whilst a few in the governments of the world.

Who mostly have good hearts and minds. To deal with all the world’s problems have barely any time at all. And the others who do have the time to try and make a difference.

And do not barely have any resources to use at all. And with so much to say. And with so much written about the world’s problems.

The world seems to turn more slowly. And barely fix anything at all. But still at least in the most of the world we have democracy.

But I hope that we can improve upon it all. Upon the chaos and the mess and decrease poverty. And violence of all kinds.

And I wish people will choose their words more wisely. And people become more caring. And I wish for equality for us all.

But alas the day and alas the night. When the voices cease and the words run from the page. When men, women, boys and girls are deprived,
through oppression, repression, racism and hate, and ill education of an age. Because it is no good for us as the human race at all.

And still to this day. There is still too much suffering and pain. And with all the education we have available, why cannot we seem to end it all? But I wish everyone would choose their words more wisely, and be more caring.

And I wish for equality for us all, but alas the day and alas the night, when the voices cease and the words run from the page, when men, women, boys and girls are deprived, through oppression, oppression, racism and hate, and ill education of an age.

Because it is no good for us as the human race at all. And still to this day. There is still too much suffering and pain.

And with all the education we have available. Why cannot we seem to end it all?
