GURU TONY
New Age gurus love to go on about life change. We have it in our
power to be someone else – more spiritual, more ecological, more …
well, nice. And predictably, those who are anti-New Age disagree.
Of course, the gurus do themselves no favours, speaking in
wishy-washy psychobabble. But I think the basic idea is not only
true, but essential. For instance, there are elements of my past to
which I am a stranger to now. This is because I have naturally
developed. Indeed, I suppose if we aren’t a stranger to who we
were before, we haven’t really advanced.

CRIME NEWS: UK’s anti-knife
crime policy has seen a rise in knife
crime in many targeted areas. When will
this govt learn about its people?
BRIT NEWS: It’s looking like new laws to curb MP’s expenses
are to be watered down. After the furore, business as usual?
BRIT NEWS: 52 pubs are closing a week. The
death of a great part of Brit culture, killed
off by govt taxes and politicisms. Self
hate is ugly.
A FRAGRANT WILDERNESS
Senses alive in every way,
Into a wilderness I stray,
Fragrance relaxed in a summer haze,
Thoughts abound, beautiful daze,
As one, at peace, with nature’s delight,
Happy to stay a day and a night,
Then, refreshed, I remember the scene,
And long for the smell of a human being
WHERE IN THE WORLD
Fiction: Where in the world am I? We’ve all asked the question from
time to time, I’m sure. But whilst a moment ago I had a good idea, I
was no longer sure. I’d followed him. It was inevitable. After all, I was
a cop and he was a villain. That’s what I did in the world. But
catching up with him was a world changing event. What was I to be
now? I wondered – after what he’d done. Where in the world am I?
Am I even in the world? You see, bullets in the chest prompt such
questions.
PERFECT
All is perfect – world just fine,
All around me life’s divine,
All is perfect – no struggle at all,
Everyone is having a ball,
All is perfect – no discord,
So tell me:
Why am I so very bored?
