The Golden Geese
written by: Steve Dooré
The invention of the abstract world
where lives are made and joy unfurled
heralded the start of endings
for you and i and they are sending
serfs to fight their wars in ditches
while they write off as glitches
the riches they inherit as leeches
on the side of the good ship hope
we gave them too much golden rope
and now they live as golden geese
our lives strung together piece by piece
I am a 39 year old Dad of two, husband to one, who works in Equality and Human Rights. I am passionate about social justice, equality and mental health. I have always wanted to be a writer and have always been an avid reader of both fiction and nonfiction. My favourite writer of all time is a fairly predictable choice - George Orwell. However I enjoy books across all genres from Nick Hornby to Maya Angelou, from Hemingway to The Hunger Games series. I read a lot of books on politics, history and philosophy. When not reading I am usually found listening to music, my other artistic love, of playing with my kids and/or cats.
