These are a couple of poems I wrote for the Emirates Literary Group Abu Dhabi that I went to last month, but am skipping this month as I’m totally wiped out today….
They don’t have titles at the moment other than “October Blues”.
If you are always right
And I am always wrong,
Then why do we fight?
With all your tendencies
Towards arrogance, hypocrisy and idiocy,
Why won’t you just see?
Perhaps, just possibly,
You might be wrong –
But, no, how could that be?

From the outside,
It shines like a new coin.
From the outside,
It runs like a well-oiled machine.
From the outside,
Everyone smiles.
From the outside,
Everyone is your friend.
Unfortunately, the inside is never
Quite what it seems,
From the outside.
