[hometext] => The following words were composed during 1996 following a traumatic experience. They have recently been put to music.
In Loving Memory of my son Baby Joseph Weight...18.02.1996 [bodytext] => Slum streets and dirty places, The children play outside with dirty faces, An old man whistlin' a catchy tune, Rolling up a cigarette in his room, Down our street there was grief and pain, Never again will it be the same. A couple kissing with such passion, Both dressed up in the height of fashion, In the flat above there's a babies cry, Someone's singing him a lullabye, Down our street there was grief and pain, But never again will it be the same. The little girl takes her brother's hand, Never will they understand, Hopes and dreams come crashing down, Anger and despair all around the town, Down our street there was grief and pain, Never again will it be the same. Different cultures, two classes, sorrow no joy, A young mother, having another baby boy, Desperation and agony ended in death on that day, Promises of a better future all blown away, Down our street there was grief and pain, And never again will it be the same.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
