(Scraping the bottom of the barrell 3:) Some rare poems by Glen Sweeney.

Written around the second half of '80's (except "Tiger", date back to 1979), here's some rare poems by Glen Sweeney, probably intended for a planned book of writings, poems & something else. But the book was never published... 

Poems to Maggie and Ron*

Her master with his million sins

his sawn off mind his seven chins

inside his head a demon sings

of blood and death and slaughter.

This witch sits spiderwise 

inside her web of lies and cries

only he loves me who dies

and the room filled up with laughter.

Ha, ha, ha, ha...

The future star wars

There is a war in the stars

Venus fights Mars

and Earth is ripe for the kill

the prophets of doom

prepare for the boom

and they teach their kids to kill

it is plain to see

that our destiny is to fight 

till the end of the time

and love will become a crime

for the future of man

is a cosmic plan

by the architects of fear

and the gods they await

will arrive to late

with a nod a wink

and the fear.

Untitled poem

Have you heard the sound of one hand clapping

have you heard the sound of one man rapping

tired of sleeping in the street

want somewhere to rest your feet

Have you heard the sound of one hand clapping

have you heard the sound of one man rapping

tired of politicians lies

don't listen with your ears

listen with your eyes.

The poem titled "Tiger" handwritten by Glen Sweeney.

Tiger

(Poem. Thanks to Willy Blake)

Tiger tiger 
burning bright

soon you will be 
an unknown sight

no more forests 
of the night

something that you 
cannot fight
has replaced thy 
fearfull symmetry
felled the soaring 
jungle tree
left a symbol 
                  of our culture
a 
   Coca Cola 
                     tin
on which stands 
                   a vulture.
