The miracle

I broke my tooth on Christmas  pudding sweet
A silver coin had  steamed beside  dried  fruit
And after eating  sausages and beet
The pudding  tempted me from worried doubt

We had a goose and chicken  in a pot
Roasted carrots round potatoes dwelled.
I made the claim I  eat less than my   cat
Yet truly  has  my  super ego swelled

Then the pudding with its holly red
A jug of custard  and a pot of cream
I wished that I  had appetite  inbred
And all  the world was  an erotic dream

The dentist looked  with  care at my  clean teeth
Nothing broken,wonders never cease!

So fame made her feel quite sublime.

My friend had cystitis 3 times
Which made her face  grow many lines
She was so  struck by the blues
She was  on that night’s News
So fame made her feel  quite sublime.

The most anxious woman in Britain
Was cured by the love of a kitten.
It ran up her leg
And laid a new egg
It  had pinched from the hen  its  dad ‘d bitten

Schizophrenia  is caused by great shame
Humiliation, to give it a name
Oh, folk be not proud
For we are often too loud
As they tremble on the  cusp of our crimes

On the edge of the cliff of despair
Many of us  just hang on there
Throw us a rope
Help us to cope
Life is not  just,  so be fair.

In the  borders of sanity writhe
People with very tough lives
With no wealth or  home
With no brush of comb
They are waiting for us to arrive.

Rejection

Being ostracised is kin to death
Rejected, driven out from your own  tribe
The hate, the spurning, the unholy wrath

Rejected when we follow our own path
The choice is hard to make and to decide
Being ostracised is kin to death

Cynical and with a hollow laugh
How shall we portray or describe
The hate, the torment, the unholy wrath

Like the martyr tortured on the cross
With no rapid  poison to imbibe
Being ostracised is kin to death

As for the tribe,it is their loss
For now we have new groups who’re  our allies
No hate, no torment, no unholy wrath

Now there  is  less permanence,few guides
We must trust the depths of our shared minds
Being ostracised is kin to death
The hate, the spurning, the satanic wrath
