Like Flies
I will not tolerate this
I’ve had enough
Gather your belongings and clear off
Leave me in peace
Occupy me fish-face!
-ringing in your ears
as if thirty miles of toffee were pounding your face
What about monkey? my dumb daughter asks
just a stab in the dark and shatter home
Glory be a beautiful morn
Ease the frown of tense before
Once or twice I broke the law
I woke up with the sun in my eyes
The city was in meltdown
Lets go to the red zone
And tear the whole fence down
Liberation and mountains of political truth
Minds and music of vibrant hands
Find the voice that sings unhinged
Unbind the birds that bounce behind your eyes
