Poems from “Fuzzicle”<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

<\/td>\nYour Elevation<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

You were born pure
\nDon\u2019t listen any more
\nTo what they say
\nYou were born secure
\nIt\u2019s there beneath the stuff
\nThey tried to overlay<\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t mean it
\nThey were stressed
\nThey were in a mess
\nAnd wouldn\u2019t take the help
\nThat anyone suggested
\nYou took the brunt
\nAnd your self-worth was molested<\/p>\n

But
\nYou are not stupid
\nYou are not lazy
\nYou are not wicked
\nYou are not to blame
\nYou are none of those things
\nYour Mother said you were
\nAs she hid the bottle
\nBut not her pain<\/p>\n

You are not insolent
\nYou are not ugly
\nYou are not knowingly
\nThe one who tells lies<\/p>\n

You are wise
\nBeautiful
\nCaring
\nSuitable
\nFor any situation
\nAnd you will grow to know
\nYour elevation.<\/td>\n

<\/td>\nBlokes in Cloaks<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

There in the city centre you see them
\nBig men cast of metal
\nOr carved out of stone
\nBlokes in cloaks
\nStern looking furrowed brow
\nBrandishing a flag, a gun or a sword
\nOften on a massive horse
\nPushing forward without remorse
\nA celebration of the individuals
\nWho made us what we are
\nBut it\u2019s an old show of lies
\nFor we made us what we are
\nAs we continue so to do
\nAnd we must see through it
\nTo see our journey through<\/p>\n

There is a tendency to accept
\nWhat is handed down
\nAnd imagery has power
\nBut please, not over you
\nThis is a late hour
\nWhere everything that has gone before
\nCannot make the transition
\nWithout your permission<\/p>\n

And you don\u2019t need
\nA cloak, a flag, a sword, a club
\nAn axe, a spear, a machete, a knife
\nA gun, a rifle, a bomb, a mine
\nA submarine, a torpedo, a tank
\nA shell, a bomb, a plane
\nA drone, a blitz, a vile missile
\nOr anything that blows to bits
\nNor does your transition need a horse
\nBut you do need goodness
\nLove, truth and wisdom of course<\/p>\n

This is a late hour
\nWhere everything that has gone before
\nCannot make the transition
\nWithout your permission
\nAnd that is what you
\nAnd this hour are for.<\/td>\n
