Far away.

The fragile heart can never be unbroken
When shattered beyond repair
one million tiny fragments
destroyed and filled with real despair

Many different reasons
a multitude of horrors
be it love gone suddenly
or a nation that does not care
visions of atrocities
witnessed and not compared
to anything you will ever experience
from a comfortable sitting room chair

resilience is an easy notion
when all you've had to deal with
is unemployment or poverty
debt or western fails
1st world problems
a lack of social care?

if I lived in war torn lands
i'd roll over and die
But only after I'd made my stand

hide behind my soft hands

the pampered scots heart would break with ease
my biggest worries handled, please!
no matter how bad you think things are
to experience those horrors you'd have to go far
drive for weeks
in your modern  abundantly available lead free fuelled car

tears well up
i want to cry
when people drown
or infants die
as we; so wasteful
simply sigh
and state revulsion
from way up high

broken hearts
don't make me laugh
real time issues
from centrally heated authority provided high rise flats
where losing the remote
is one of life's tragedies
or a broken pipe
keeps you from the lavatory

get a grip!
keep on moving
at least your'e alive
free to gloat
stubbing a toe
breaking a nail
get a skelf
at least you are well
allowed to live on the outskirts of hell
protected by lies and deceipt
government tells you all is swell
while killing civilians with poorly aimed shells.

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...
