Have a nice evening

 
Have a nice evening
Is what I like to say
To all those lovely people
Who walk pas me everyday
With their hands in their pockets
Dressed up for the night
So have a wicked time
As I sit and write
This little rhyme
For all of you to hear
Even though I'm totally skint
And haven't got a beer
Out here on the street
With no money for a place
Oh dear oh what a life
And I want to be of my face
So I don't feel so lonely
Out here on the street
So buy me a lottery ticket
That will wipe me of my feet
And if I flipping win
Then I can do the same
Only through art and poetry
That'll put everyone o shame
So have a lovely evening
And enjoy your night
And thank you to all those people
Who gave me money as I write
So I can simply survive
Out here on the street
While helping out others
Who want something to simply eat

R.I.P. Lea Williams


What goes round
Always comes round
In a way
Of leaps and bounds
Even outside upon the ground
Only ten fold
It shall be found

As you get attacked
So what the heck
In a life
That's a simply wreak
Which is true make no mistake
Only ten fold
Then comes the wake

For your dead
Totally brown bread
It's not good
Through the life you've lead
Which is true so it's said
Only ten fold
And now your dead

Unless you survive
And stay alive
In a world
Where you strive
To be the best with pure drive
Only ten fold
To really thrive

Yet you know
The ultimate blow
Is when your mistaken
So here we go
As people try to stab you so
Only ten fold
In your sleeping bag though

Or simply punch
With a crunch
And kicking you
While being staunch
Even though they've had their lunch
Only ten fold
Through some hunch

That you are them
So they do it again
And if your zipped up
No good my friend
Because you've no way to defend
Only ten fold
To the bitter end

Or your shot at
Oh what a rat
Even though
You did what
Killing you or maybe not
Only ten fold
In the life you got

So it is true
What would you do
Per tact   yourself
Now wouldn't you
Because that's what you got to do
Only ten fold
On the street it is true

Yet my friend
It is the end
Never to see you
Ever again
Yet these words I write and send
Only ten fold
Will remember you my friend

This man was a homeless person I knew and was a wonderfully generous person who was trying to sort his life out.
The the most horrendous thing happened which would scare any person homeless or not and happens to many homeless everyday. 

Love you man

Getting Pissed Of For Creating Art


Getting pissed of for creating art
Out on the beach oh what a start
On Brighton seafront to make my mark
To show the world the ultimate spark

With nowhere to live except the beach
Creating art no one can teach
And trying not to be a leech
In a world of darkness I simply screech

So I put up a tent to keep myself clean
That someone has gave me and everyone's seen
Along with duvets because I'm keen
To show the world what I mean

After walking the coast in due respect
To write a book oh what a mistake
To help homeless charities for the crack
After a newspaper told lies which is fact

Which pissed me of more which is true
And I didn't have to do what I did do
Because I didn't care about life too
And all I wanted was to be like you

To have a place and a simple job
So I didn't have to go out and rob
To make ends meet to get a few bob
But this is life for the down and out snob

Thinking that homeless charities would like my cause
And help me out without no claws
To give them something along with applause
As I went out and broke many laws

Just to create art no other would dare
In a world of chaos that is never fair
Yet I was right they don't care
Because I'm no artist this I swear

I'm just a bum out on the road
Who simply lives life no fixed abode
Doing what I do before I explode
Hoping one day my body will corrode

Going through all weathers and becoming ill
This was real stupid and probably is still
Yet like I say its one heck of a thrill
That even newspapers can simply kill

And so do these charities that I want to help
Because I have been there and know what I felt
But they don't care I simply yelp
So no much wonder the homeless hate the life their dealt

As they keep fighting each day and night
To conquer the demons that's never right
After being pissed on from a great height
Then set on fire burning bright

Which I know is simply true
Because it happened to me too
With patronizing interviews oh what's new
I am no one so how do you do

With many a newspaper sharing my story
Of walking the coast oh don't bore me
Which was nice to get the glory
Yet its still not a good enough story

And I am no voice for no homeless person
But as I write this i'm simply cursing
Well out loud with no diversion
With a sore head I am simply nursing

For I'm now messed up in the head
And realizing it I am brown bread
As addiction still boils really instead
Now simply hoping I'll end up dead

Dam Brighton Council


Dam dam dam 
Is what I can say
To Brighton council
At the end of the day

For being so pathetic
Towards a down and out
Who's really an artist
Most people simply shout

Yet no matter how I try
To better myself now
I end up in the papers
For messing up somehow

Yet if you have no home
Then what you gonna do
Your gonna rob and steal
Or beg on the streets too

Yet I create art
And busk with it yes
So I can live life
On peanuts I guess

Yet the bigger I go
And try to help others too
By giving them a chance
Of something real new

The council don't like me
For putting up a tent
So we could have a little luxury
That's money well spent

Then others buy you duvets
That change your life around
From sleeping in a doorway
On a really cold ground

Then you get a camping stove
Eatting three meals a day
Wow how your life has changed
In a really simple way

Then you get an eviction notice
For having up a tent
That's simply keeping you dry
On this magical stint

While taken on another person
Who is homeless too
Who's an alcoholic
That everyone hates true

For their normally shoutting abuse
While shoplifting as well
Now their picking up stones
With a better story to tell

Becoming sober
And talking to people alright
Having clean clothes
The futures looking bright

Yet the eviction notice hovers
Twisting our simple minds
Blowing up or dreams
Of having better times

So back to the doorway
We simply go
Back to drinking heavily
And smoking loads of blow

Well this is what has happened
After one hell of a life
As I the crazy artist
Who made a sacrifice

To show how hard it is
To change your life around
From being a homeless person
Who sleeps on the ground

To becoming a pebble artist
Who sculptures for free
Loose pebbles on a beach
Simply by the sea

Which takes many days
And looks awesome upon the shore
Just a pity Brighton council
Don't help me a bit more

Or their homeless charities
That help give us all support
Even though they don't really care
About one homeless mans report

So no much wonder many artists
Simply sleep outside
Because they love live art
That comes from their pride

So if you are an artist
And you come up with something new
Then keep breaking all the rules
Because that's what you have to do

For you are no one special
If you have no money or are clean
So go break all the rules
And live the flipping dream

And tell all flipping councils
You don't care no more
For Brighton was my arts birthplace
Upon the UK shore

And I'm the only one 
Who creates big sculptures for free
That's why artists from the UK
Don't get help you see

Yet one day I will make it
In my own simple way
And I will always be helping others
Who live day by day

For they need my help
More than the charities do
Because life is not easy
And the homeless know it too

Never judge a book by its cover
Is what you all say
Well never judge someones name
Or how they look on that day

For many homeless I know
Don't want to be seen this way
And would love my help
So they can live day by day

So they can get a flat
Before it's far to late
And their the next to die
Just like my best mate

Oh well that is life
For many a down and out
But if you don't give them a chance
Then they'll never feel what real life's all about

And that's helping others
While enjoying life too
To rise among the toughest
To show what they can do

To put smiles on many faces
Even though they're in a state
But this is real life
Which is tempting fate


Click on the link above to see what I really do and how hard it has been for someone like myself to be the person I am.

HOMELESSNESS

        Homeless people, black or white,

        Over the world, day and night.

        Move around, from town to town,

        Eventually settling, themselves down.

        Leaving behind, the street life past,

        Ending their misery, oh what a task.

        Securing a future, for the best,

        So they can better, themselves yes.

        Never ever, looking back,

        Encouraged by others, for a fact

        So they can achieve, something new,

        So please help them, please will you.

Looking at the beautiful women


Looking at the beautiful women
Walking past my bed at night
I think to myself  i'm so lucky
To see such a beautiful sight

Even though I am homeless
And living out on the street
In my sleeping bag oh oh yeah
Meeting everyone I simply meet

Even though everyone keeps staring
As I do what i simply do
And I hear a lot of them saying
He's not homeless too

Is it because I sit and write
To hopefully improve my life
Yet money isn't everything
Now that's real sacrifice

With many a laughing stranger
Going out to enjoy their night
No much wonder I simply drink
And love the words I write

For everyone to simply see
And read on this blog too
Yet I don't get paid for doing this
But then again would you

with inspiration running freely
As the cold air gives its bite
In Brighton at Christmas time
That's what makes poets stand and fight

Even though we have our troubles
And our words come in perfect flow
We have to stand up for ourselves
If trouble comes you know

Which could take us back to prison,
As we defend our health,
Even though we have no money
Or should i say no wealth
