Just Like Anyone Else

-
I have ears
I also have eyes
I can hear
I can see
 
I have feet
Covered in shoes
My socks
Keep me warm
Cushioning the blows
 
 
Inside of me
Organs function
Heart pumps blood
Bowel
Compels expulsion
 
Abuse my liver
Overwork my bladder
Kidneys function
Aches and pains
Fit and hale
Summer time tanning
Winter skin pale
 
 
Lungs that take
Great volumes of air
In and out
Breathing
Alive, I am aware
 
My fingers grasp
The intricate workings
Pinching
Cupping
Scratching
Feeding
 
Inside of my head
Beneath the toughness of my skull
My brain uses information
I process and feel
 
Like everyone
No matter their colour
My palest of skin
Scottish in pallor
 
 
The hair on my head
Unruly, grows quickly
I am unique
Just like you
I am human
 
Capable of greatness
Humble when relevant
Happy with glee
I can cry like any one
Tears from me can stream
 
I watch the TV
Or listen to tunes
The sorrow of warfare
The struggles I see
 
The inspiring that touches me
Way down inside
The things that I have witnessed
That make me want to hide
Or to share with all others
Who missed their chance to see
 
Just like anyone
Not too unusual
Capable of loving
Capable of hate
Sometimes on time
Notoriously late
 
Just like anyone
 
 
AGL

Positivity explodes from every pore Despite my doubters This year I'll do much more More for others if I am able More for my family Food for our table. Be all Be everything Reach for the star's Grab opportunity When it comes along Don't be fearful of anything If you can't see it It's not there Resolutions are a misnomer Bound to fail unless Heroically striving You can drag your self from bed Failure makes you hurt inside Disappointment is the foe When February roles in Defeated You'll weep inside Lie low Avoid the gaze, the question's About The intentions you shared before So this year I'm not trying to change dramatically My aspirations will be tempered Measured in a way My mind is set to a default I've probably had before Self doubt is now the enemy Belief in me is raw Attraction Is the focus Bring it to myself Ignore the dampened shadows That have me running scared True to me and the possibility That wha...

Tradition suggested that we may need a break. Crowns and religions, Exposed as just fake Politicians who tell us that all will be well While smiling so sweetly Party's for sale Crowns made of paper Angels and John Shoes, tattered and skinny Asking Them all If they'll spare you a penny, your house has just gone What about Sheila, What about Ron Can they both have some money They're cars in a pond, Insurance, taxation Scriptures and diction Vocabularies,  Manners  Man made addictions All caught in the maelstrom  Of evolution not fiction. Simples!  AGL

SOLITUDE and THE FARMED

-
Well that's it out there in the great big world. At first, once the book had been released I was filled with an incredibly potent feeling of fear and dread. What would the reader think? Good stories ? Bad Stories? a multitude of emotions visited me every minute of every single day. Now I find, that although still touched by a tiny amount of nervousness, the over all feeling I have is one of confidence, and a sort of devil may care attitude, I do care what the reader thinks about my work, but, it doesn't really matter as much now, its too late, the bird has flown, the words are free. I believe in my heart that both of the stories are worthy of being read by whoever wishes to spend some time reading. Sure opinions may differ, but my own opinion, though possibly irrelevant, is my own. Available to by online on Amazon.com and on amazon.co.uk, also at Wh Smith and Barnes and Noble as well as from the Author website, AG Leyden /SOLITUDE and THE FARMED. Please enjoy reading as much a...
