one in four

-
Gifted to the waiting masses

Grasping for air as you fall and tumble
Losing your breath as you scramble and bumble
Tightly they hold on
Clawing and biting
Meek and quite humble
You bend to their will

The demons they muster
Desperate to have you
Invasive they snatch
You kick with your heels
Forcing them back
They will not defeat you

Resting for once
Until they attack
Scared
They will return
Catching you napping
Stealing your dreams
Riding on your back

Out of the darkness
A glimmer of hope
Changing your thoughts
Life must go on
Supported in some way
By those who surround you
Cared for and safe
You can move forwards

Don't drop your guard
Until they have left you alone
Let him who is sane
Cast the first stone

Madness is out there
Waiting in ambush
One out of four
Succumbs to his force

Rest easy my friend
Guided by knowledge
Each day will arrive
Just like the last.

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...
