The Bland & the Blind

Honour their Greatness

How are you? Happy 2021!

Let's hope for a better year for all! 

As I begin another year watching original voices not find an audience while the bland and the copycats continue to find publication and success, I present to you a poem I wrote a few years ago. (can apply to other fields too).

Abruptly

Whispered

‘Find what is lost’

‘Look to your local’

'Uncover

Allow emergence

Of the lives amongst the trees

The stories lived beneath your feet

And remove your ears and eyes

From within your corpulent cheeks of arse'.

Dedicated to those who celebrate the 'tried and proven'

without investigating/exploring the alternate or now, for themselves.

(Whether in art, or in anything else in life).

Coming soon.
