Poetry and Creative Writing for All

George Pottinger

I started writing a couple of years ago, mainly song lyrics for the music I’m producing. About a year ago my Dad suggested that a lot of song lyrics are just ‘poetry to music’ and we decided to bring the material together in one place. Thus my book ‘The Unsung Songs’ came into being!  I’ve also written new material especially for the book.

Orders Of The New World

Nurture the craving for flesh,
Desire the world you see in the mirror,
Feel nothing for the man next door,
Millions for the millions on distant shores,
Crave a love to cling to,
Love your grip to slip, let go,
Live in a house of glass,
Go on; sell yourself to a stranger,
Become bacterium that spreads,
Join the sluts at the pavilion,
Feel nothing from the bottle to the mans head,
Its ok, we’re better than them,
Just one more fag, just one more…
Fear or religion, we’ve pinned you down,
Do not obey, do not respect others,
Cover the fields in sin, scum

From Years Ahead…

We’ve had our chance,
We’ve no time to dance,
Across the lunar skies,
He wipes the tears from his eyes,
In shame that someone might see,
The faith he put in you and me,
We’ve had our chance,
We’ve had our chance they say,
To turn the clock,
To make it stop,
The penny drops,
He’s gone away and all will say,
It was years ago our chance to stay,
Our chance to live
