Radio Bracknell interview

The Ranting Post

It’s a rant

A post that’s down

Well this post might seem a bit down

But it’s the truth

Recent cases of child abuse

The result for the abuser

The end result for the abused

The never ending result for us

Same old, same old

Like me, like us, like them

You could write a poem about it

We have

You could write a book about it

We have

You could make a film about it

We have

They could do something about it...

We wait

Harsh?

Harsh is the affliction of it

Harsh is the injustice of it

Harsh is that no one deserves it

Yet it happens everyday

Harsh is to always endure

Harsh is to be told we are Harsh

Because we see no end

And we tell it so

Have we all the answers? No

But who listens to the ones we have?

Have they all the answers? No

Did we ever think they did?

How long have they been at it?

How long till there’s a change?

Sorry for the chain of questions

It’s because of the chain of events,

The lack of a difference

And who suffers when they fail?

They should know…

It’s what makes us who we are

To tell the tale

If only they would listen

 

By John Harrison.

Someone Once

He was someone once

 It wasn’t me

 It was make believe

Now I see

What I don’t want to see

 It has not changed me

It has made me

That’s why there was

A make believe

All the good inside

Is just so painful

This is someone

 I don’t want to be

These are things I don’t want to have

 Happened to me

Oh know

Here we go

Back to make believe

I was someone once
