hope -fragment

In the gloom, gold gathers the light about it Sunbeaten dead Turf reached off all around me Miles and miles, deadness Beating sun, like some searing echo ringing on my flaking skin- Water falls one drop From nowhere But was too tired, fucked To glance up at its source Felt one small pin of water whip down softly on my skin Morning beams of gold swarm gently into a darkened room Stained walls, ripped wooden boards Fleeting glance of grace Dances thru this hellishpit Feet softly skip and hop along jagged rock Image rings round and round the skull, for again and again Hope dares fly from a smoking mound of ash

Quincy's greatness

Choruses on both of these tunes are out of this world. Choruses I want to hear forever on repeat. Leaves you wanting more, more more. Second vid, the MJ tune is probably the most underrated, underplayed, underanalysed undercited tune of all time. so tonight gotta leave that 9-5 up on the shelf and just enjoy yourself groove let the madness in the music get to you life aint so bad at all if you live it off the wall That's all I'll need chaps, thankye very much. 

note on Trump protests

The recent wave of anti-Trump protests are great. They are bringing people into the political arena who have been left out for a long-time. At a time of terrible political interest and participation, any event which can command such a large turnout across the UK must be commended. The election of Trump as US President is a tragedy, but a tragedy that is the product of the way Western politics has been administered over the last thirty years. A swelling underclass of people who are not seeing any real gains in income year on year, and who see practically no representation whatsoever at the tables of power (with a particular nod to the decline of trade unions), is exactly what Trump has thrived off. Could the anti-Trump movement be a mechanism for not only fighting Trump, but also fighting the turning wheels of profit and social exploitation which helped propel his ascent to power?
