Hypocrisy - by Bill Clark
A Cell with no bars
I can’t think of them as bars…
If I do, I’ll lose my focus, my perspective, my sense of reality.
I can’t acknowledge them as bars…
If I do, I’ll lose my compassion, my understanding, my sense of humanity.
I can’t endorse them as bars…
If I do, I’ll lose my courage, my will, my sense of direction...read more
 

 
Almost Dead
 
I don’t see the day you see,
The Day I see is bleak.
I see bars, well armed guards,
And things that make hearts weak.
 
I don’t see the sun that shines,
I don’t see the stars.
I see pain, misery,
And bodies etched with scars.
 
I don’t see the flowers grow,
I don’t see the trees.... read more

Hope
 
Hope is our armour…
Through hope we gain might
It strengthens our heart
And wills us to fight
 
Hope is our shield…
It’s life’s greatest buffer
It wards off despair
And makes us all tougher.
 
Hope is our sword…
It cuts through depression
We wield it with vigour
And measured discretion..... read more

Pure Lust 
I am consumed with lust…
I yearn, I thirst, I hunger.
My mouth waters, my heart races, my palms perspire.
I’m anxious, I’m eager, I’m excited.
My pupils dilate, my lips quiver, my body trembles.
The object of my lust is beautiful, exotic and bountiful.
She tempts, she arouses, she seduces.
She captivates, she inspires, she fulfils.
I’m pursuing her with untamed and never-ending zeal.
Why does she taunt and tease me so?
How can she continue to elude me?
Who is this woman?
I’ve known her all my life.
We once had an intensely intimate and passionate relationship.
I miss her with every fibre of my being.
I want her back.
Will she give in?
Who is this woman?
Her name is Freedom…
