Ruthlessness
Meanness
These are the traits
The media feeds us
Tells us we need
To succeed
Thus preparing us
For exploitation

Pleiades
By Scott Bailey © 2013
This mini-series of poems were written as part of a year-long daily poem challenge and published in my collection A Spring of Dreams. They are in a form called Pleiades (read about it here).
I chose to write seven of them one for each of the original Pleiades – the stars once called the seven sisters, and base the poems around the mythological characters.
Alcyone
Another spirit lost
Awash in the swell and foam
Anguished over lost love
Anger dealt him the blow
Arising from the sea
Alighting on the air
A bright bird arises
Asterope
A nymph darts between trees
Afraid of the hunter
Always close behind her
Away she flees in haste
Another danger lurks
At her feet as she runs
A butterfly is born
Calaeno
Caressed by the wide sea
Corals catch the new child
Carry her to the shore
Colliding with bright fate
Climbing into the sky
Coronal light shines out
Cascading to the sea
Electra
Ever shining bright spark
Equalizing her rage
Encompassing justice
Ever seeking revenge
Endless pain unanswered
Echoing from murder
Electra takes her aim
Maia
Mother of he who brought
Music up to the Gods
Malice turned to justice
Magic cascading from
Mother of the world storm
Mighty God of the earth
Must meet a mortal end.
Merope
Marriage was forbidden
Mortal husband taken
Masked in a veil of shame
Must watch her husband’s pain
Most faint in the heavens
Marred by following love
Misty those lives above
Taygete
The hunter is hunted
Twisting between the trees
Turned into doe from nymph
Trailed by her lover’s bow
Tumbling through the forest
Two golden horns that shine
To rise into the skies

Dancing Disaster
So this is a direct quote from Theresa May’s speech at the Tory Conference.
Leaving without a deal – introducing tariffs and costly checks at the border – would be a bad outcome for the UK and the EU.
It would be tough at first, but the resilience and ingenuity of the British people would see us through.
Was that supposed to be inspiring somehow? All I got from that as is this.
Doesn’t matter how bady we fuck it up – doesn’t affect us. You poor sods can bear the brunt of it.

We don’t like

Don’t agree?

I mean look at it.

At what’s happening
The rapes, the murders
Think of the children
That’s it!
You know it makes sense

Stamp it!
Make it official
Make it law!
Good!
