I am leaving before I end up in court
and I am leaving to find new avenues of thought
creations caught fresh in the first instance
and I am leaving taking us
to a European scintillating existence
and of our culture I cry
Begotten, not created
And I am leaving to find the inchoate moment
of discovery beyond these veiled boundaries
and I am leaving to be free
to take up the cause of critical thought...safely
and I am leaving to fly straight and narrow
un-deviated from the expulsion of truth
the detonation of silence which seeks
no proof of criminality writ large
Begin and never cease
And I am leaving this crack-faced crushed psyche
pain-induced inverted grecian urn OF ART
wretched zietgeist of the age and place...
Leaving too the thugs, destroyers of races
Of the age, of people's children the collateral damage
a rushing holocaust to embrace...targets
Hail the incarnate deity
I am leaving the smears, the blears disgrace
of politicians in tears, degrading babies
and I am leaving the shrouded mists
Around which I cannot see
ways through for you and me
Unwanted and tear smelted routes
lie untrammelled under the sea incarnadine
Down to such a world as this
And I am leaving
to soar above the eagle of freedom
and us the 13th basted state
And I am leaving
because basically I'm a Batman
up against a fatuous bleader
Don't turn up the lights too bright...here:
All the little boys he killed
And I am leaving to catch stars
And unload them upon the universe
so I dare to eat many fruits many peaches indeed
And I am leaving the shunting magnetic opposite
pull of
where monkeys count better than me
And I am also leaving the wheelchair theoretician
who counts stars and says there is no heaven
I am sadly leaving Lord Gibbon
who rules like King Minnion
by a riverside of
mediocrity
And I am forever leaving
the White Cliffs of prison
Leaving the inmates to sing
An ex-rated plethora of purposeless
Bling, leaving them to do their thing
And out of the shapeless divide came Form
I am leaving
the wrathful gargantuan ship of state
its seeds spread out sowing its toxic sting
colluded in humanity suffering an infinitely suffering thing
an arc of evil burning phosphorous freight
of three thousand new criminal laws
Magna Carta has sunk into liberal hate
And I am leaving the Christ who has left us
to this fate – No second coming... No
religious revival none only Et tu Brute?
Exterminate the brutes
I am leaving
the bank rolled hoarders
in the city state where hoarders
and others practice fraud...other gentlemanly horrors
In this they are the peerless
Creators of rapacious goodness
where money trickles down so
lumps of angles can have opportunity
And I am trading the Eastenders
for Mallarme, Proust, Zola, Baudelaire
exit from the things of insubstance
whilst Khalif's brothers seek to band
bond and unify a country in despair
I have looked into the eye of man...
and found it blindingly
I am leaving behind Wilfred Owen and his
St Cross's books burning trauma and trauthe
as Sassoon said he would
And I am leaving as Bush fires spread a circle
around the earth, words of God, words of blood,
words of a hood...
what an engagement
til death do us die a kind of bliss
eternally seeking perpetual benediction
and I am forever leaving the moral compass
which has lost its point its angle of pursuit
leaving the angle of eternal reaching
perpetually seeking what is good
And I am certainly leaving
the carbon shadows on the floor
where children should have been
instead they're sepulchred in grainy
black and white visionary resemblances
of things past and we are all in search of
sweet Madeleine like good people should
I am sweetly leaving my Prince Michael
of football his footfalls dancing on snow
where no mark leaves grooves in the mud
to spend more time with him and the kids
down playing heaven nil all millenniums to go
And he shareth in our gladness
I am leaving because the gravity of earth
can no longer hold me as I can no longer
hear Jonathan's words worth of revelatory
joy and so have spun off...
another trajectory
the centre could not hold me
and so forth
as those stiff winds rupture the stratosphere
and blow from the fields and the sky
and seems half conscious of the joy it brings
with splendor for the loving forms spread out
in the grassy mound wombed around St Catz
And I am leaving
the munitions men
crows straggled along a telegraph pole
carnivores seeking out voles or any other vermin
chorally chanting what profits us all
all this and their idiot boy spouting of
David's and Mohammed's togetherness
Freedom talk driven...in stretched hushed hearse
is a leaving of the senses...Quo Vadis Gross Britanien?
Happily I am leaving Brian Haw
to start the war on terror of gross lies
deviants and the oil enterprise
This is no place for welcome messengers
Nor welcome friends only the monstrous
anger of minds murdered and entombed
can radicalise the despised
I am leaving Rupert's sky formations
Television's tec God news teeming
waterfalls of banality and bad education
We have seen the orange future atomised
seen the cathode ray lobotomise a nation
and it has been found wanting
a rebirth of wonder a removal
from our sleeping
