Gut instinct

My gut instinct tells me

that something is very wrong,

that they have been busy twisting truths

to make us submit and play along

My gut instinct tells me

that we can’t deny what’s here

But if we ponder all the consequences

Which is really the most severe?

My gut instinct tells me

that emotions are riding high

because psychology was employed

to make us swallow all the lies

My gut instinct tells me

that the overriding mantra

Is not hands, face, space

but divide and fucking conquer

My gut instincts tell me

That the future’s looking grim

Because we’ve turned on one another

Instead of blaming them!

My gut instinct tells me

That it’s time to fight for truth

To protect the weak in our society

and the future for our youth

I have been writing mediocre poems since childhood. To me the process of writing is a release and the results, however mundane, give me a sense of pride. I am a busy teacher, mother (hockey mum), wife, pet owner as well as being a reader, sometime raver and a reasonable friend.
