A Poet at War

It just so happened my mum made me realise the battle we are living in Sheffield with our street trees is also happening in many places in France, where residents either realised too late or are still fighting the administrative evil!

So I ended up gathering info about “Les platanes de Gien” (The planes of Gien) and made a song addressed to their mayor…… Continue reading

Alea Jacta Est #20

Much has been happening lately, and our many selves needed a little rest. Here below is a piece I wrote on january 2010, just after some blue liaison officers started to get interested in me. It seemed talking to a poet about higher principles gives them a vertigo…! This short piece is pretty much still accurate today…..as short tempered officers appear to dread any reasonable exchange with me…. and scare me with searches and lockup if my questions make him finish his shift too late…. You see my dear reader, there is such a concept as reasonable force, so why not reasonable defence or reasonable questions or remarks…… especially when an officer makes typo on the dates… And all this sudden wonderful entertainment because I am by nature a protector of the Earth, as it makes sense to me to respect the environment I live in, and it is definitely reasonable to stand and act for it. And most importantly, to live by it, as it is in our actions that we can see the true nature of our intentions. I am my nature, nothing will ever justify anyone coming to take it. Furthermore, It is just as much reasonable to kindly call an “idiot” whoever acts as such.

This piece finishes the 2nd serie of the Raven’s tirade. Thank you for following us, the website will be due an update soon for clearer navigation! Continue reading

Sheffield Women of Wood

Since our poetic self is banned from attending the ecocide happening in our soon to be grey-city, it means I can watch from home a lot of distressing videos from the protest sites in Sheffield…… and because there is no point moaning at my screen, here’s my homage to the women protestors who keep coming up with very creative ideas to bring ridicule to the situation.

Ameyrica II Ameyndments

So here we are again, in the street of ex-leafy Sheffield, where I am not allowed because on bail….. which hopefully will soon be amended to allow me to collect more artistic evidence from the incredible one-in-a-lifetime human experience in the making there (albeit a 100m from work zones…… but possibly with a megaphone!).

This is the second parchment of words and their definition that we have recollected from our anthropological excursions in the Stump city. Enjoy Continue reading

Free Will, Stercori Ego Sum

Here is the 4th tirade from the new set, illustrating the fact that every action is the result of the choice we made to carry it. Inspired by the Cogito Ergo sum of Rene Descartes. The last verse is a … Continue reading
