Wrong Downturns

The Motorway Tree
How can these pitiful creations, with their skeletal arms and icicle fingers,
barren of acorn and fruit, but seeping only spurious feelings, engage with
the living and loving without learning to give.

Clear Rear Vision
...Young people, now freed from enforced hollow prayer and holy pain,
Are moving forward, strong in love, as they leave God and his game...

Seventeen Scenarios
...Some seeds of my awakenings have flourished to be worth preserving forever
Others will be kept subverted by the leaking, wavering will-ó-the-wisp
Wisdom of the philosophically challenged

To Cobble a Rhyme
...Or will all end with him when the ink runs dry
Lost in dreams
cold
unburdened of life´s load
Beyond the sound of the living who cry
About foolish love on Raglan Road

Two Deitific Verses
Park your Popemobile over here Pope and let us chat a while
I want us both to feel relaxed so do take off your style
A young man is without a bed, his father, holy priest, is dead
Another going off his head, who was abused as a child
Now I know you´re not the one to blame for these needless, hurtful things
But I hope you will reflect on them each time the angelus rings
And when you fly off back to Rome , let your pious brothers know
That some in Ireland have had enough and would like your show to go
