Before the enemy within
When did it begin ?
The death of our factories
Nowhere to be seen
Consigned to history
By the enemy within
When did it begin ?
The lottery on healthcare
Bugs and super bugs
Finally the cupboards bare
Taken by the enemy within
When will it end ?
It’s too late to stop it
The end has come and gone
But no one noticed
They were looking
the other way and didn’t notice
The enemy within.

A pertinent protestation
The answer (I think)
Lyes with this generation

Re: Roberts poems (part 1)
I was once very fatBut I soon tired of that
After hard exercise
I went down a size
But it wasn’t enough
I had to be tough
So I cut off a limb
To make me more thin
Well this sure did the trick
Though I needed a stick
I should have thought it through
Now I am in a stew
I have gained the weight lost
One more limb must be tossed
I wont take my last leg
I’ll cut of an arm instead
This made me lopsided
I shouldn’t have tried it
Now then,
I think I should point out I made all of this up
Don’t try this at home, shedding one’s limbs is a bad idea to lose weight.

Re: Roberts poems (part 1)
NOW for a sensible oneWhen I consider the humble spider
I am always filled with awe
For having no mentor to teach or guide her
Spins a web to which flies and bugs draw
Shame to those who brush webs aside
When on wet mornings they start to appear
Yon spider took a long while to finally decide
Not to put it there but to put it right here
It’s the same in timid ladies bathrooms
When spiders with vertigo gather
They get stuck in the bath ,where there’s no room
Screams of fright come from our ladies who blather
Spiders are grossly, universally hated
For why, its not for me to say
But I did hear on tv commentated
Spiders are not going but here to stay.

I wouldn’t say that we were poorbut we knew no point in asking “more”
We were always hungry and cold
That’s how it was if truth be told.
All that we was poor but happy crap
Was always just so much made up clap trap
our house was cold, cold as the grave
And we were treated like common slaves

Re: Roberts poems (part 1)
Memory fails usMemory fails us more and more
until we are arrive at heaven's door
bones once strong crack & break
was it all a huge mistake.
Was the earth created, or evolve
both are true we have been told
I have only a little brain
I need it to be explained again
So we have a life eternal
waiting for when we pass
forgiven are our sins infernal
repentance is all that’s asked
The great hereafter waits for us
where there’s no suffering or pain
you need to have faith and trust
this happy state to gain
Why today I write this poem
Is today a special day
All of us are on a journey going
Will someone point the eternal way.

Re: Roberts poems (part 1)
Lip reading in the dark.I’m lip reading in the light of the newly risen sun.
The life that started right has many miles to run.
I have no sound, but sight directs my question thus.
In my soul's long dark night, go onwards then I must.
Still lip reading in the morning darkness blocks my way.
Senses dulled, no warning , as morning becomes midday.
unfinished
