Musical Theme: Grandmother Fire

Run from the fiery dance

by willowdot21

OMG

The red, the yellow, God they frighten me,

the heat, the fear is all that I can see.
Run, run, run for your live’s
get your husbands, children, grab your wives.
Pound, pound, stomp, stomp the sound of people running for their lives!
Go, go this is your only chance
to escape the fiery dance.
No time for saving your possessions,
no time to find the cat
he will be gone to safety you can be sure of that.
Go, go don’t look back ,
duck, duck hear those windows crack.
How did this happen what did we do….
nothing , nothing , is that really true.

Cities Burning

by willowdot21

London’s Burning

Stomp stomp there’s panic on the streets.

They are tearing through the alleys and taunting the police.

They are burning shops and peoples homes.

No matter how hard people have worked and made their businesses by working fingers to the bone.

Families frightened out of their minds,  running  across the roof tops escaping

flames, shocked and lost having left all they own behind.

Smash Smash they are breaking lots of glass

stealing trainers, clothes and handbags this is not the poor under class.

This is not political they have no high ideals.

They are not the poor underdogs who can’t afford their meals.

If you can carry a Blackberry phone and a fashionable track suit and designer trainers you own,

your on another track., you are in another zone.

Stamp stamp the sound of running feet they are all carrying 75 inch screens and DVD recorders by the score.

“Take what you can when you can” is the gang call of the suedo poor.

Flames, flames police cars have been torched

whole shops and all their contents have all been thoroughly scorched!

People without their livelihoods, people without their homes

all because these feral louts threw fire bombs and stones.

They rant and rave and scream and bleat that they are fighting for a cause ,

they have no hope they say, no jobs and no one for them cares.

There are the jobs and there are the chances we all get just the same

it just some of us make our own  way and don’t take benefits just for gain.

A good man lost his youngest son whilst on a vigilantes line,

he only wanted to call a holt  to the rioters forward drive.

Just because he stood for right ,

these ferals having fun, drove through his line killing three,

his youngest son was one.

If ever we needed a hero, a strong leader to come along,

we need them now ! We need the police to stand up and use measures hard and strong,

for what these evil robbing thieves are doing, is all wrong.

Feral Looters

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light. My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well. I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

  1. Smashing!!! I shall have a slow listen to a couple of new versions, later in the week. For now I’ve read the text and your outstanding poetry. Hot Stuff!! XXXXX

  2. Willow! I love your Fire Dancers so much!
    Oh and Bear is sharing that beautiful Song to Brighid! MMMM. Great stuff.
    We shared a few songs. 🙂 I almost with Johnny Cash until I remembered that June actually wrote the song so I hunted up something of that with her doing it. Fun.

  3. LOL I wonder if Brown cooked his brains? is Julie Driskoll British? I don’t know her work. I love that you know so much about your home turf.:-) Sineade is always wonderful, even if they won’t let me listen to her video in this country. 😦 Oh and of course Johnny Cash and the Doors and we all like fire poi and batons and swords 🙂 I’m sure glad you included the terrible Austrailian fires … there is no way to say enough about the terror and danger of world Wildfires. Thank you. That Peer Gabriel video…some of that was actual real footage, not all was staged …. scary stuff. The Prodigy is new to me too (I think) and he is definitely twisted (like he said) and good at depicting twisted. …… Interesting … all …very interesting … and HOT!!

    1. The Prodigy were a group my eldest son followed for a while they are an English electronic music group formed by Liam Howlett in 1990. The current members include Liam Howlett, Keith Flint, Leo Crabtree, Rob Holliday and Maxim.Julie Driscoll is English , London Born and still singing and acting I think she uses her real name now, Julie Tippets
      here is one of my favourites from her.

      Peter Gabriel has always been a favourite of mine!!

    2. BTW Arthur Brown was always getting into trouble setting himself alight and also stripping naked on stage… a mad yorkshire man!! Great baritone voice.

  4. love every thing you write so beautiful a delight to read and the feeling that go’s in to each
    word you and you’re family have a nice weekend Willow
