Welcome my blog. The intention is to publish every piece of writing that I have churned out for the past 10 years. Some pieces have a story behind the story, some lyrical poems have become songs. We have hundreds of poems, stories, songs, lyrics, and life musings. Subscribe and every Monday receive a story to start off your week. Art is created by Amina & AI.
it is craziness of the heart
It’s been said.
Vanishing.
Leaving a smouldering cigarette
And four ounces of Dewars in a
A glass covered in greasy fingerprints
The catastrophe of longing.
The emotional butchery.
Served al a carte over
The hours and minutes
That pass for one’s time
It is not always clear
what the actual purpose of it all was

If upside down was right side up
The highest paid job in the world, the most respected,
the hardest job to secure, requiring the highest
qualifications, references , creativity,integrity and
commitment would be Early Childhood Education
teaching a completely new ratified wholistic form of learning .
The entirety of our adult lives are spent unlearning things we should
never have been taught in the first place.
The soul can not be unpoisoned.
We are yet to understand and yet to act upon this
hard truth. This is where problems begin.
This is where potential is squandered.
This is where insanity is nourished and spawned.
This is where the imprint is made
that can not be unmade.
The sooner we understand this
the sooner we will purge this planet
of sociopaths who blithely feel it is their
God given right to destroy it.
Derek Earl Houghton
The more dangerous foe neither barks nor bites.
That foe can be beaten off with a stick.
The more dangerous foe deceives and undermines.
The more dangerous foe would derail all that
you seek to accomplish.
