Comfort
If you struggle to fare,
Or find things hard to bear,
Then take comfort in me,
Do not suffer solely,
Below a glistening sun,
Do not ever be glum,
Take comfort in someone,
Don't ever be lonely,
You may think no one cares,
But there's someone somewhere,
There is comfort found there,
So don't suffer despair,
There's light though you see none,
To your fears don't succumb,
Your battle can be won,
With help from a loved one.

Type O negative
They need you to survive,
But aim to bleed you dry,
You don't need them alive,
So #@%$ them, let them die,
The others they don't like,
Such bias is not right,
So orchestrate a strike,
And bring the wrong to light,
They say it causes pain,
Makes them feel sick and faint,
But when there's blood in vein,
They need not make complaint,
Ignore all that they say,
For they're just being fake,
If you let them give sway,
It would be a mistake.

Other way
Is it so wrong to want things the other way around?
Upside down turned around different to how they are found,
If things weren't as they are what harm could it ever do,
If things weren't as is those opposed would be far and few,
Is it so wrong to want things in a way variant,
At deviance, some way amended, and discrepant,
If things weren't as is the change would have been overdue,
If things weren't as they are those opposed would change their view.

Fristaday
I received an assignment,
I didn't think I'd complete,
I was to be persistent,
Which in itself was a feat,
I was not too confident,
The deadline was hard to meet,
My work schedule's assessment,
Saw that there was no deceit,
I found a hidden week day,
It's something I can't explain,
I chose the name Fristaday,
For this day that is arcane,
It relieved me from dismay,
Due to the time I did gain,
Now I've finished my essay,
I fear the grade I'll obtain.

Freo
Goddess Freo charms hearts fertile;
Forming entwined fates.
Crowned with summer's life giving sun;
Breath she'll seize on sight.
In fragrant blossom and flowers,
She is to be found.
Cures for sorrow in her do seek;
Know love seldom seen.
Muse-sounds she makes so sweet and soft;
Moving to be heard,
Pride of heroes on paths to walk;
Promised by one's days,
Mortal pleasures and man's great wants,
Masses in the mind,
Put forth gifts to please heaven's belle;
Praise duly her name.

4th July Independence day
With new guards for security,
To oust king George's lunacy,
Faith of the greatest purity,
Makes liberty a legacy,
A belief one can own their fate,
Has the power to captivate,
Dreams of an independent state,
Prept for others to imitate,
Words worth that of any royal,
Proclaim all men are equal,
Ideals to which to be loyal,
Are to England's rule a sequel,
The past seems but precursory,
To a day that spurs pride and glee,
An annual anniversary,
For those in the land of the free.

Alan Turing
A man who truly left his mark,
A war hero at Bletchley park,
His memory we must cherish,
He proved vital to the British,
Problems that seem overwhelming,
To be solved by Alan Turing,
Keeping the war effort on track,
With an insight that others lack.
Averting what the war forebode,
Helping crack the Enigma code,
In a time of sheer defiance,
The birth of computer science,
One talented mathematician,
Set with a most crucial mission,
He helped a victory in war,
Progress his work did underscore.

London marathon
Through the city down Embankment,
Crowds of people line the pavement,
Founded in nineteen eighty one,
A twenty six mile long run,
To all the challenge is open,
This marathon set in London,
The challenge as motivation,
Or the many a pledged donation,
Competitors bearing through pain,
For the best time they can obtain,
And whether there be rain or shine,
Resolved to cross the finish line,
An eclectic mix to be seen,
With every runner being keen,
Eying records to be broken,
And the applause to be spoken.

London 7/7 Bombings
A dark anniversary dawns,
Such tragic deaths the country mourns,
There's a hurting across London,
Scars of the city yet deepen,
On a day that held a dark hour,
Lives go on owed to willpower,
All they that were shocked by a blast,
Resolved to put it in the past,
With one minute spent in silence,
We will stand in remembrance,
For innocent lost in heaven,
The bombings of 7/7.
Think of the taken fifty two,
Horrors that survivors went through,
Amid events that were so grave,
Men, women and children were so brave.

May day
Placed under one of nature's spells,
Woodland floors coated with Bluebells,
Honour the arrival of Spring,
Usher the month into full swing,
Days promise to be more fruitful,
All is soon to be beautiful,
A quaint and beautiful display,
On the first of the month of May,
There's crowning of a May Queen,
Parading of Jack in the green,
With dancing around a Maypole,
Many a joyous carefree soul,
Fine young maidens wearing garland,
Celebrating across England,
Watch for the queen of the fairies,
Conjure up some new memories.
