Woken From The Deep | Strider Marcus Jones

Posted on January 27, 2021by sammicoxwriter

In death we die, and go to lie,Beneath the ground, until we’re found,And passed aroundFrom museum to museum,Where people push and cry:“Move your head! We wanna see him.”Oh Ra. It’s no fun being a mummy-When you’re woken from the deep:So when they put the lights out,I’ll just go back to sleep.

Life’s Truth | Strider Marcus Jones

Posted on February 1, 2021by sammicoxwriter

Life’s a foaming cobbledStream of peoples lives,And loves a fragrant fantasyWe can’t deny:Strife’s a bitter apathyWe can’t escape,And war’s a grim realityWe choose to make.
