    Volatile material
    Resevoir bubbling with a flashpoint
    Material stuffed down
    Triggered.
    By a word, a song, a symbol
    Meaning, coincidence, conflagration
    Lines up and flash
    Detonates
    I would say inside my skull
    That would be wrong
    Body quivering like a taught crossbow string
    and unleashed
    Driven
    By meaning fuelled by fear
    Swallowing signals whole
    21st Century stimulus
    Rolling up and accumulating into the ball
    Of manic energy
    Danger
    To myself
    To others?
    Give me open fields
    and I'll run myself down to safety
    Dig a fresh hole under the unseen hedgrow
    Burrow down moist earth ten feet and hide
    Miles from nowhere
    Drenched and panting
    To return to myself?
    Outrun my terror
    Scream to standstill
    Instead spinning
    Get in my way
    Urban sprawl
    Catastrophe
    Incarceration
    Violence
    Nobody but you can talk me down
    Friends scattered like tenpins
    Strangers terrified glances
    Whizz past like rain sliding across the speeding windshield
    Police
    Full stop
    Lock me up
    Chain me up
    Rabid monster
    What a waste
    Of all that energy

    I have tried to read this thread right through so many times and have to say that so many of the words, lines, verses here are so powerful and hold so much meaning for me that I keep getting stopped in my tracks to take them in.........but for as long as you keep writing them I will keep reading!

    W.M.E.

    You met someone who gets up
    When you put them to the ground
    You met someone who knew
    How to rise above the screech, smart and sting
    So you stung him again
    And again
    And again
    You met someone
    On another plane
    You know so little
    You don't know what you're doing
    You met someone better trained than you

    You're used to squashing violence
    But found it harder to squash peace
    You didn't like it when your wristbands
    Only brought you greater danger
    You believe in brute force
    You'll never understand where I've been
    I wasn't going to let you take me
    I can dig a lot deeper than you

    In the end you did what you know best
    You increased brutality
    Took it over the top
    You increased numbers
    You couldn't afford to lose
    You had to break me
    With all that you had
    You were frightened
    By things you didn't understand
    Not everything lies in the text books
    They teach in this land
    You got your victory
    You must have thought you all did a good job

    So how come when I saw you last week
    It was you that flinched?


    Insult to Injury

    So you talk
    You whisper
    You spread your preconception
    On the telegraph
    You gossip
    You break the law
    Me a crazy
    Not to be touched
    By society
    You cause me problems
    But by the force of what you did to me
    The force of my melted insides
    I will prevail
    And you will fail

    My revenge comes in stages
    Your sickness
    You spend in one go


    those two compliment each other so well, i love it.
    very very powerful and intense.

    favourite lines are:
    My revenge comes in stages
    Your sickness
    You spend in one go
    So how come when I saw you last week
    It was you that flinched?

    very powerful last lines
    are these inspired by true events tremors?
    seem so vivid, the anger seems raw

    They are both my current perspective on past and now recent events, aimed at the same subject - the British police force

    Thanks very much pepper - if thanks is the right word. Thanks for reading and appreciating. With this kind of 'collection' I feel I have been writing from a different place from previously, and stuff comes out differently, and I don't enjoy reading them back myself so much as other things I have done here in the past. A lot of the material here though has arisen out of other collections I have written here in the past year - where I have thought the writing as stand alone kind of things is probably 'nicer' - these are a bit more raw to me. I don't think I would have wanted to write from these kind of places, nor been able to though, had I not written the earlier stuff - so is a strange one!

    "You can have your keys back"
    Start next week
    Have your old life back
    Get in your car and find some open road
    Your Fixer single is sitting right there where you left it.....
    Get in and drive
    Say goodbye to that year
    And don't look back

    All that you have lost
    is all that you have gained
    All that pain
    is the fire to rise above
    Blessed
    By turning suffering
    To hope
