Changes - Haiku Book

Sunday 17/02/19

The bindings undone,
Pages fall on to the floor.
Covering the cracks.

The cup is half full,
That’s hopeful, yet, getting cold.
The cup’s move aside.

Dramatic white clouds
Fill the blue sky just enough.
To form great contrasts.

We already do,
Judge Conservatives badly,
Such a rubbish job.

New SS style,
In NHS checking service,
For checking migraints.

An emergency,
Grips the States as Bum Hole speaks
Building walls he says,

5 Billion bucks
Undefined budget it is.
For some kind of wall.

A beautiful wall,
So tall, plain, boring big wall,
Blighting the landscape.

Got up late today
And 9 am came early.
Need to have some rest.

It has been busy
At work, the pressure is on.
Ploughing through it though.

Will I write this book?
I think I shall, day by day.
But will it be good?

I think some pictures,
Will be needed to help it.
I’ve some ideas.

Greasy Grey please stop.
Stop this sick twisted non-sense.
Keep us united.

Your party’s over
Hand in your party dress now
That’s the naked truth.

Politic changing
Out go all the idiots
There is NO, “Well done!”

A stone lays so still,
Not daring to move or breathe,
You might think it’s dead.

The coffee cup rolls,
Rocking, back and forth, empty,
Wondering what’s next.

Rev. Gary Davies,
And Mississippi John Hurt,
And Big Bill Broonzy.

I learnt guitar young,
With the bluesmen by my side,
Through books and records.

Went on to Ragtime,
Jelly Roll Morton and more,
Of course, Scott Joplin!

In case you wonder,
The ad music “Sing, Sing, Sing’
By Benny Goodman.

It is sounding good,
On this Toyota advert.
Enjoy these classics!

Something that’s troubling,
I don’t understand why though!
Why social divide?

I’m lucky, I know!
Got home, job and family.
I work to keep it.

Bum Hole Bump’s great wall,
The 2 Billion reasons.
Just to question why!

I’m not thinking much,
Reacting more, such a bore.
Time to find the fun!

There’s so much to do,
Reports to write and meetings,
New contracts to start.

Never write us off,
For we will come back stronger
Than we were before.
