    The Rent of My Existence

    The Rent  Whips my back  Leaving deep scars The Rent  Keeps me from sleep It keeps me from sleep    The Rent  Binds my dreams  The Rent  Binds my thoughts  Snuffs my desire  Dousing my fire   The Rent  Wrecks my mind My mind is all I have And I'm going insane  My mind is all I...

    • Thank you for sharing this. A very direct and insightful poem, I really appreciate the “whipping” euphemism for rent. Hit the nail on the head!

    • Over pay is right. You exemplify that very well in this piece.
      Cheers- Brad

    • Oh my goodness, I really like how intense that reading is. I agree that the rent is too high

      • Yes, the rent of living is high. Every thing is rented. The air, the time, the moments of our lives, every second is paid for. And it goes up every day.

        Thanks for reading and listening
        Regards James

    • hello dearest James I know the feeling this is wonderful I feel the pain of it ❤️

      • Every moment costs money and it just rises and rises. I feel it. I see what it does to people.
        It cost a lot to exist.

        Thanks for reading
        Regards James

    Take down your flag

     Take down your flags of England Take down your union jack These people fled to safety Now you wanna send them back  Take down your flags of England Take down your union jack Your nation gave you nothing Now you wanna give it back

    • I’ve heard of the disturbance there. I always think of the rock bands I listened to from there and I wonder what they must think.

    • I have a close friend who lives near London and she keeps me posted on the shite that is going on over there with the new regime…kind of like what is happening here.
      I still love this country, but feel like it is being taken away from us with greed for power.

      • I agree. Everything is going mad all over the world. But it’s always been this way.
        Thanks for reading

        Regards James

    • Fly the Union flag high and the cross of St George. We must be the only country in the world that allows every other flag to be flown yet we are made to feel ashamed of our own. Very topical piece says this patriotic poet.

      • Our flags mean different things to different people. The history of the empire, neo nazi groups etc. but I think many people have been failed by England. So why fly a flag of a nation that doesn’t give a shit if you have to self yourself for money and freeze to death etc.

        Thanks for reading

        Regards James

    • I’m with Christine Shaw (Chris) to the letter .. there’s shite everywhere but don’t believe everything you hear these days it’s hard to differentiate between so called artificial intelligence and the twisted minds of those who just like stirring up trouble .. There are also a lot of dimwits that believe everything they are currently being force fed through fear of being singled out and sadly made an example of ..

      • I think it’s very similar to 1920s Germany.

        It begins with flags and ends with murder.

        Thanks for reading

        Regards James

    • We seem to share a similar view on that score .. Take care .. Neville

    • I wonder what exactly the reason for that is…
      I think politically…and all those afraid to stand up against the King.

      • So much information in our hands, so much time spent looking at our phones, never stopping to think deeply, before the next wave of information.

        Thanks for reading and commenting.
        Regards James

    • There are so many ways to take this…I like when a statement makes you think.

      • Thanks for reading and thinking on the statement.

        We live in strange times.

        Regards James

    • It seems you are indeed write sir .. and for wot it might be worth, I’ve thinked the same thing myself .. & often .. Neville

    Super Flag Men
