    About this ebook

    I hope you enjoy this book in a series of lifes journeys. I hope it touches you, makes you consider; think about yourself, the world, your actions and those of others.

    For me it is a book of personal journey. It is a journey through change, choices and facing truth about so many facets of life. For everyone you will find pieces representing unfathomable love, deep hate, secret passion, self- awareness, inspiration, realised hope, death, social comment and an occasional controversial thought.

    Its a collection that I have faith will make you ponder on some of lifes questions and just may help someone find an answer to a problem.

    I hope it touches you, warms you, concerns you, makes you smile and if Im lucky enough it may even make you cry. Go ahead, immerse yourself, in a page, I trust you will get something from this little tour of some of the challenges of finding your soul in a modern world.

      STUFF

      You flew in VIP from a world beyond repair,

      A make believe invention to torch reality for the masses,

      With special pastries, branded sheets, a magic carpet ride;

      Screams of disbelief for mindless, with cameras at your side.

      Yet to the world where many suffer you’re just a piece of stuff,

      While brainless heads consume the filth you spew,

      Collecting what they need to fill their shallow greed;

      Bombarded with the message of endless want and need.

      They scramble in frenzied scream,

      To catch a glimpse of adding to their tv life,

      Stuff in the cupboards, stuff under the bed;

      Stuff in the garage, stuff to fill the inside of their head.

      Consume, dispose, buy more and more,

      Stupid fools, show the world respect,

      Or dying earth will say
