#beauty
Beauty Define it Without using a cliché Of a woman Or indeed a man Define it With something you experienced today When you go to sleep And look back Define it With something you experience tomorrow When you go to sleep And look back Define it Without using someone else’s words Or monetary expectations Of what they tell you is perfection Beauty Define it

It Always Comes Round To This It always comes back around to this This thought that I have at the height of winter Or maybe its the low of winter Yes its the low Anyway, the thought that I have Is that it is only a matter of months Maybe four, maybe five When I will be immersed in the sea again And if you look around at all the conflict in the world Both inner and outer turmoil You then know that there is no greater freedom Than swimming in the sea

My Santa Letter Dear Santa In the absence of Jesus Christ Can we have a Free Palestine And an end to greed and war Also can you fit a home for everybody In Rudolph’s sleigh And maybe end the hunger thing While you are at it Could you also leave a lump of coal For Trump, Putin, Starmer, Macron and all the world premiers And maybe take away all the things they love Until they stop taking away all the things everybody normal loves One final thing Santa In the absence of Jesus Christ Can you create love in the world Not just on streaming TV fantasy Signed Herb Dee Age mid fifties

My Manager is an Ai bot My manager is an Ai bot He uses Ai an awful lot The irony though is not lost When he thinks everyone else’s job Is too much of a cost

This book is free today on Kindle. It sits somewhere between Gulliver and Animal Farm and it's about Northern Ireland at a time when peace was budding ...

Again We Remember Again we remember a poor family Nomads forced to be refugees Looking for shelter because a baby is on the way Forced to return to Ephrath to pay tax to the king With money they didn’t have Homeless and following a star in the sky It could be this year It could be last year It could be over two thousand years ago And we still haven’t learned

This poem is from this time, a year ago. I have adjusted the number of homeless children mentioned from four and a half thousand to five an a half thousand for this year ...

Twas the night before Christmas Twas the night before Christmas And all through Leinster house All the politicians Were nursing their gout The votes were cast For a new Taoiseach with care Some independents were absent Getting drunk at a fair The children were nestled All snug in their beds School uniforms in tatters The TDs in new threads Outside people marched, For Palestine a great sound, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound For wee little Simon A lovely train set For his brother Micheál A toupée, black jet And all the TDs Danced around the tree With five and a half thousand children In homeless misery

I Could I could write a song About the people in power And how Absolutely evil they are But nobody would give a fuck And it wouldn’t change anything I have written letters To the papers About illegal political corruption I have uncovered But they didn’t give a fuck And it didn’t change anything I have boycotted Meta Spotify, PayPal and Stripe But nobody followed my example They just carry on Nobody gives a fuck enough And it will never change
