We come to fight

We Come to Fight a poem by Russel Painter

We come to fight,

We come to kill,

Today you’ll die you surely will!

We are the ones we are your doom,

We are the ones we are the gloom,

We are the ones we’ll put you in your tomb!

We come to love,

We love the treat,

With the treat we are complete,

The treat is neat, so very sweet,

Seeing the treat is such a feat.

Monsters

    Monsters    Poet: Russel Painter

You must turn back, but it's too late you’ve finally chosen to meet your fate.

The keeper of this oh so tomb will haunt you 'til you've met your doom.

The ogres the zombies the orcs and oogs, all the menaces have made their moves.

Vampires, Dracula, Ghouls and Ghosts are all but one are some of the most, terrible, treacherous, abominable things we fear that of all the creatures haunt our dreams.

Because of their lingering and perilous deeds all the monsters have lots of greed.

Whenever they hear the words, of brutes all of the creatures, they all salute.

We all must yell, we all must shriek that no-one’s safe and no-one dare’s to face their fears and turn their mouths to monsters ears, to say to shout “we hate your snout we hate your pout” to make these fiends swell up in tears.  

Though every single year or so we celebrate them all with monsters glow, candy wrappers, witches hat all laid on the floor in one big splat!

Tech vs Nature

 

Tech Vs Nature    a poem by Russel Painter

The chirping birds make sounds so sweet,

The clean blue sky oh! So high,

The sea is so deep and intense,

The many gardens and their fence,

The mountains so big and huge,

The forests giving out some clues,

The intensity of the wind and air,

That makes us look and see why we are there,

Because of nature forming life,

We took a risk and make a disc,

To tell us about the world around us,

Nothing will ever come among us.

We'll never really learn the meaning of it all,

But in truth technology is nothing at all,

It makes roads, cars and other kinds of stuff

Which creates pollution

Or which we have no solution.

It would take a revolution

To fix up all this mess,

Getting rid of all this tech,

Is our one and final test.
