Apprehend retribution and
anything bigger than Rhinoceros
The city grows exponentially as
the hoards of the poor increase
Nobody knows the fine art of
devaluation like the corrupt
Bent as a nine bob note he goes
for the proverbial jugular
Dollars and cents unimportant as
the great wall of Chihuahua
All these self important people
running around chasing their own tails
They’ll tell you anything they
think you want to hear like it or not sideways
We’re both doing the same thing
in different back yards digging doesn’t help
When the balloon goes up we all
get burnt not just those that play with fire
We all try to make our mark sometimes
too casually but someday…
Careful what you wish for
there’s a ball and chain welded to that railing
Her smile is deadly and her
voice will mesmerise you if you let it
Love is just out of reach just
beyond the fence that you can’t jump over
Different cities will flash
through your memory as you tune back in
Who are you and why/how often do
you come to this great place to pray?
He walks out of the cathedral
blinking in the warm sunlight outside
Everybody’s a number now they
have all been fish chipped and tattooed
She thinks I’m following her in
the rain with a broken umbrella
At the tailors he bought a suit
had it altered smart as a Munchkin
Jointed disappointed… and
anything bigger than Rhinoceros
