Unending Turmoil
It’s a new day
A new start
A clean slate
What will today bring I wonder
This new day full of promise
Full of expectation.
More tedium, more stress, more meltdowns
More failure more disappointment
I should be used to this by now
People not listening to me
People misunderstanding me
Things going wrong
Things not going to plan
Tunnel Vision
Speeding down a dark narrow tunnel
Oblivious to what is outside the tunnel
Well that’s life isn’t it?
Your so naïve aren’t you?
It’s always been like this
Just accept it, get on with things
Nothing will ever change
Stop complaining about everything.
Concrete Values
My ethical viewpoints
Are set in stone
World peace is of high importance
Equality is a human right
Not a political tool.
All discrimination is offensive
I will never surrender
My principles of peace and
Equality to narrow minded
And lazy thinkers.
The Infestation of Tradition
Is tradition, reason enough?
For something to continue
Things do change things do progress
Certain practices may remain the same
But their meaning might alter
And eventually traditions go
Out of date.
Modern Disgrace
If you get left behind
It’s your fault for being lazy
If you’re not outgoing
If you’re not like us
Then you will fail
If you’re not a people person
Then you might as well give up
Greed, greed, greed
Self, first last and always
You better be quick
Before the drawbridge
Is pulled up.
Tears Before the Eternal Sleep
I see it there before me
The end, the end, the end
All the best years
Lie behind me locked in the past
Never to be seen again
What lies in the future?
A boring job and a lonely existence
Living in a grotty flat
With no friends, no family
No more books to write or read
No more films to watch
No more museums to visit.
The Inner Sanctum
Within the walls of this sanctum
Dwells a destructive evil daemon
For years it has been fed and nourished
Concealed within this sanctum it has grown
Should it be revealed to the world?
Or should it be
Contained within these walls?
The Spirit of Human Rights
With all the good people
In the world
Saying all the right things
About all the wrong things
You would think that
Intelligent people with
Decency in their hearts
Would realise
That problems need to be solved
And things need to be improved
One by one these
Good and intelligent people
Would enlighten the good
But not so intelligent people
So that the spirit of human rights
Enters the hearts and minds of all.
What’s Really Wrong with This?
Sharing property
Sharing finance
Good living conditions for all
Equal opportunities for all
No homelessness
No poverty
No war
No racism
No homophobia
No anti-Semitism
Why wouldn’t this work?
Glorious Progress
Advancements in technology
Advancements in medical care
Advancements in science
Advancements in equality
Yes indeed we are
Making progress
In the right areas.
More Life in the Darkness
There are some who’s
Strange belief it is
That I enjoy being depressed
That I enjoy feeling sad
That I enjoy being disappointed
It is true that I have
More dark moods
Than light moods
But this does not mean
That I like being
Shrouded in fog
However
I have learnt from
These low moods, anxieties
Struggles and ordeals
Dealing with
These dark experiences
Have made me a more
Complete person.

I saw your link to your poems on an Aspie facebook group; they’re really good!
I identify with them except in my case some would have more added about how despite all of that I refuse to give up and refuse to give in to defeat because tomorrow can be better.
Thanks for sharing!
