The Achilles Heel

.Reading time 1 minute.
The Achilles Heel
Is that I know how you feel
And I spilt those words
Not because I’m away with the birds
But because I wanted you to know
You’re not alone when you move slow
Like a glacier cutting through rock
And I pretended to be something I’m not 
And there’s only so long I can keep it up
Like the sound of you and her making love
It echoes in my mind 
I try to leave it behind 
But it’s imprinted like a dice
That rolled on me for being too nice
To you when you would have devoured
All of the women that you empowered 
With your subtle soul 
And a boy becomes man when he gets old
But I don’t think I like 
Being the wrong side of your spite
And when you bite
Your teeth sink in
That is why I am not with him

The Higher Dimensions

.Reading time 1 minute.
The higher dimensions call to me
And they ask to be set free
From all the chains Earth entails
Because their starship never fails
To broach the boundary of sky
I wait and watch while people die
In Palestine
But it’s justified so “it’s fine”
Are the people in Gaza even human
Because what are the forces even doing
To innocent men, women and child
I look and see that the land is wild
With sunset in the air
And a sea that beats the coast with care
And you may say it’s anti-Semitic 
To go against the rhetoric
That is spilling from the screen 
Because war is always a scream 
And there’s nothing we can do about it
So why should I even doubt it 
Like when they invaded Iraq
All the world that I held back
From speaking aloud and true
Coz they might do something to you
But they destabilise
And become dictators in their eyes
And I know the soldiers are just boys
Firing guns like they’re toys 
Never knowing what they do
To the people who are facing you
But somewhere in my blood
I can see a realm that’s good
That goes beyond the tears
And it’s been with me for years 
Somehow my Irish skin
Shouts out to say “I am with Him”
And the Jesus that I know
Was Palestinian also so 
I must speak before the quiet 
Becomes an unholy riot 
And sets fire to the world 
I’ve never been just a girl

Alcatraz

I spent some time at Alcatraz
Where they punish you for feeling bad
Where the waves rise as the sea rolls
And the jailors shatter porcelain dolls
And in my time along the front
I heard a call for what I want
A little girl four years my junior
I’m watching as they try to ruin her
As they try to pull apart
The reason that she has a heart
And even though their minds are good
They’re doing things no one should
So I stand up tall on the ridge
Don’t you know that she is His
And no foibles that the thieves will utter
Can turn this ship or shake the rudder
And I will take her home
Stand back or I will alone
Seek to pulverise the steel
That tells someone what not to feel
And in my arms I felt her break
I let her crumble and I let her shake
So she would be born anew
And in that tremble I would too
So when we broke our lines apart
I looked at her for a new start
And found that she returned the favour
A double digit branded saviour
See it isn’t one or the other
We lead each other out of cover
And back into the open air
There’s a reason I was there
To hold up hope where there was none
I think the devil may be done
