A mixture of poem’s ,and just open thoughts cheers.

Outside in the darkness

Beyond my window pain

The rat still crawls and the

Cat still meows… But still

Calls for change keep on

Calling! people out in numbers

People need some change…

Down in the city

There are two legged rodents

Its your last penny that they want

Hope is all that’s left to us.

Well, it seems that it is getting to that

Time once more where all we can do

Is look back at the Times we have all

Travelled through with all it’s ups and Downs

Some of us have witnessed times of hardship

Day’s of johnny valenty [ plenty ]

Bellow is a poem from 1992…

Word for word no editing

I think it lead to a month or three ranting.

.

It’s Ninety two

An Times a new

For having new Ideas

New Job’s on the Broo!  [unemployment]

New philosophy’s too…

Like being a political animal

Eat sleep talk read write

Of political rights?

And you will get the

Government  you Get…

26/1/92.

That wee note I found just the other day

Written before the Election of 1992

So what happened…

There were 12 Tory’s voted in: in

SCOTLAND most people believed Labours mince

That a vote for SNP was a wasted vote

What was a wasted vote was Labour

What happened we got a Tory Government

For the 4th time in a row!!

So it was not until 97 we had the big change

We needed so not only did we get a devolved

Government and at this Time

Not one Tory north of Hadrian’s wall

Was voted in was that democracy at work

Or 5 more years of Divide and conquer?

Now the big Question is being asked for real

For the first time in over 300 years

We now have the chance over the next two years

To give it some serious thought and feel at least

This one is run by Scots for Scots so it will be fair

We need no help nor hindrance David George Nick

If the People vote for Independence just think how comfy

Your majority would be and how nice for us up here

Who would see the end of lots n lots O corruption

Amongst many other pluses so maybe you should

Come taunt us some more cheers.
