'Angel Walk' by Scurvy Bastard

Angel Walk

She was
hammered in Hammersmith
after drinking voddies with the squaddies
on the 3:15 from Slough
Then the cider saturated siren
head-butted a Western Union window
which never stood a chance
Bruises on the babe
Blood on the sun

She had
been to her man’s funeral that day
As he was sent to the firebox
she wondered
Would it be bad taste to ask
for the titanium plate from his skull
She wanted to use it for an ashtray
after all
that’s what it would be anyway

She has
eyes like black moons risen
and a voice like a codeine cocktail
You can hear it in the nether shadows
of West London pubs
replacing the ghosts of smoke filled rooms
with a smoke of her own
Heart rampaged, soul savaged
The cat walks on

As well as being the best man at my wedding way back in the early eighties (!) Scurvy is also the inspiration for 'Si the serial killer' in 'The Preacher'!
Apart from this 'Exile' exclusive his latest poem 'Vespers' can be found here.

Can't remember why I am posting this...

Do not muddy the water!

Verse 1
"The greatest sin, must be killing the hope"
It was a murderer who killed my friend's hope,
the friend who just said that words.
Every step in this way was void, so was every speech and every action
Do not muddy the water!
Politics are dirty; it swallows you as down and throws you up brain washed
Behind every person, there is a hidden reason
I wanted to go live on top of a mountain, staying away from politics
But I couldn't, because it is hard to accept what they do

Chorus:
This constant pain of mine, emanates from being a human
Because one night, they stole my light of hope
If I stay silent, If I stay still
Who is gonna right? Who is gonna say?
If I leave it that way?

This constant pain of yours, emanates from your existence
Because one day, they stole your spree from your wit
If you stay silent, If you stay still
Who is gonna play? Who is gonna make?
If you leave it that way?

Verse 2
Power, is a demon crawling into the hearts of men
From Cain to Goliath, from Pharaoh to Yazeed
It turned a lot of people scoundrel
If they tender power on a golden tray for me
I would reject it, because I am not fed up with my humanity
A young person and an old one, a women and a man
They come all together and create one nation
If you ignore their voice, it will be your disgrace
Most of the superpowers in history, became miserable for that reason

This nation says No,
Says NO to autocracy
Says NO to censorship
Says NO to sedition
Says NO to beating and killing
Says NO to injustice
Says NO to democracy

Chorus:
This constant pain of mine, emanates from being a human
Because one night, they stole my light of hope
If I stay silent, If I stay still
Who is gonna right? Who is gonna say?
If I leave it that way?

This constant pain of yours, emanates from your existence
Because one day, they stole your spree from your wit
If you stay silent, If youstay still
Who is gonna play? Who is gonna make?
If you leave it that way?

Verse 3
Being silence out of dread, is the value for unawares
And the authorities are relying on this
Their conscience got blinded by their vanity
They reinforce the columns of their kingdom, by violance
But just when they think they are rising above
In fact they are falling deeper and deeper
Their heart grow colder and nothing can soften it
The fire of power and greed burn them but cannot warm their heart

If the nation wants, the sea will split
If the nation wants, alchemy would be found
If the nation wants, the (so called) winner would lose
If the nation wants, this homeland will be built

Chorus:
This constant pain of mine, emanates from being a human
Because one night, they stole my light of hope
If I stay silent, If I stay still
Who is gonna right? Who is gonna say?
If I leave it that way?

This constant pain of yours, emanates from your existence
Because one day, they stole your spree from your wit
If you stay silent, If you stay still
Who is gonna play? Who is gonna make?
If you leave it that way?

(spoken) ah, yeah, if I stay silent, not writing not rapping, giving it all up
If you say nothing too, not playing your music,
And he does not make his movie.

A lot of excuses like he is old, the other one is young,
this is a kid that is an adult
So what then?
What will happen to our violated rights?

Don't keep quiet, because if you do, it will be your turn soon.
Don't keep quiet, because if you do, it will be your turn soon.
