Silence Please !

#304 Silence

Whenever I ask for silence

that’s something I never get

after the commotion that ensues

I begin to regret my request

suddenly everything has something to say

things that just can’t wait

buzz buzz buzz words formulate

silence is in the distance

now the time has passed

it is all too late

Another storm in London Town

Another storm in London Town

#305 Lockdown

I woke up this morning

in the middle of the storm

it wasn’t usual

it was not the norm

I had no idea what to do

my house seemed inadequate

not robust

the wind was howling

it was quite a fuss

when would it stop

I wanted to know

when could I leave

this place I call home

Leave Me Alone

#307 A Lone African warrior

I think I have upset them

with what I have had to say

I am a single woman

I have to speak out

I chose to do it this way

I have beaten drums

in protest

I have marched on your streets

listen to my cry

do you hear that African beat?

I am a lone African Warrior

this I cannot deny

when I look at what atrocities we go through

I can’t sit in silence

that’s not what I am here to do

now they are going through my business

with a fine tooth comb

I know it’s too late

too late to say

I wish they would ‘LEAVE ME ALONE!’

what was I doing

watching what I spend

meanwhile there is millions being wasted

on things they chose to defend

now I am just an individual

I am feeling the strain

I am on this planet

I am taking all this pain
