Good and Evil

Bush said to the Cynics!
That Good and Evil Co-Exist!
The World is a Conflict Zone!
That Millions of People would have no Home!

Money is an ABBA song!
As sung on the Mama Mia Film!
Bankers gamble on the Economy!
The Government's Resources will skim!

The Fire will Burn brightly in the Middle East!
Translucent Oil Clouds!
The effect of Conflict Shrouds!
The hurt people face!

"Murders! Murders!"
The scream in Palestine!
The Vindictive target the West!
Committing the Terror Crime!

People are hurting!
People are Screaming!
The Two Worlds collided in Luton!
Not for Hearts Bleeding!

Governments in Free Fall now!
Creating a set of New Orders!
But the World is no longer in Motion!
Imperialism transcends Borders!

The Money in the Nations!
Is now in the Hands of Corporations!
Will we ever find salvation?
Ready for Bono's Zoo Station!

Good is superseded by Evil!
Creepy like a Weevil!
9 Year-Old Girl mistreated by her Mother!
That ditches Boyfriends like No Other!

Where is the Good now?
Let's make things better!
But how?
Can we see a brighter future tomorrow?
To bring about the elimination of Sorrow?

Talent Show

I could've been on a Talent Show!

I could've had some unreal Dough!

I could've been The All-Ireland Champ!

But our Roads are blighted with Joyriders!

Our Roads are ramped!

Heading over to the local Chippy!

Have to get Home now!

Must be Nippy!

Talking about the Girl Next Door!

On RTE, she's on once More!

She comes from a Family who can all sing!

She is enjoying her life!

Such happiness it can bring!

I remember her Sister from my SAGE Accounts Class!

She said She would fail, but I knew She would pass!

In her Home, they are split between Tyrone and Derry!

They Sing, they Act, they can all be Merry!

They all have to endure the Northern bogey!

They come from the Parish that is top in Camogie!

So, let's hear it for the Local Talent!

With voices that are truly Heaven-Sent!

Jesus had Talent!

As well as some Denari!

As for me, I'm always so bloody Tardy!

2008

Remember the constant hate!

Of the Year of Our Lord, 2008!

The World turning upside down!

Like a Circus Clown!

It is the sealing of our fate!

January was the start!

And my Mum had to part!

Beadle's no longer about!

So I'd no longer watch out!

Like Homer without Bart!

Then after the Burial session!

On came serious depression!

Then came the confession!

To the Doctor in Coagh!

New Stewartstown ones were a Joke!

Then my birthday in June is was more merry!

I went over to a Hotel in Kilkenny!

The TV sets in the Bar showed Centre Court!

Using my up my Euro Notes and Cent Pennies!

The news preached a Financial Fort!

Then came the Credit Crunch!

And the woes of the Banks!

Governments under scrutiny Worldwide!

Media gives no thanks!

They look to Corporations!

For a form of Business Salvation!

From September onwards in the Year!

The Business environment is Clear!

But the Petrol is no longer as deer!

Just have to avoid Flights!

Stay near!

So that was the story of Last Year!

Suddenly everything becomes Clear!

The Modern World has a new Chapter!

"I believe!", said a Happy Clapper!
