linking up (and other matters related)


linking off is something to scoff
bound to raise a hackle or more
linking out once made a space
home and graciously so
linking now
into words galore
allows us all
to set store quite rightly
and so we do this thing quite fine
and so no longer do we rue
the things we left unsaid
because speaking often
and speaking face-to-face
is the only thing
that will save this human race

and so i'd like
to try again
to mend what's broke
as said out loud
and as they did
so proud and strong
and quite without end
like a world we all quoted
never sure if at a price
or just unkindly
and wildly wounding
or simply to treasure
like some easy pleasure
the realisation
we could all be friends again

because if we can't achieve this goal at home
what chances do we have
when we decide to roam
and much much more
further afield in meadows now blood
where neighbourhoods aflaming
as they surely should not
lead us all to shallow blaming of others for lacking love
because life is barely anything more
than realising in time what's really in store
and then remedying the hatred
we did once feel
so that other rhymes replace our spiel
and bravura of rather cinematic cloth
is when the embrace finally calms our wrath
