Who’s Following Who?






Who’s Following Who?


Who are the moonrakers?
Who are the matchstick makers?
Who are the dictators?
Who are the takers?

Who is flying south?
Who is flying off at the mouth?

Who is to release the East?
From the unpoliced wild beast

Where are the high priests?
Are we being fleeced?
Piece by piece

How can peace ever be unleashed?
While heartless bastards feast
On our poor bakers’ yeast

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

    1. Thank you kindly, Nancy … I had these lovely bird photos and I was wondering what to write, the birds seemed to be “following” each other and with a bit of poetic license a poem was ‘hatched’ 💙📘🌏

  5. There will never be any peace, any, democracy, unless and until the people finally, stand UP and, speak in one unifird voice, against the rules of, authoritarians who are, elected by the votes into office, and yet, this will, never happen, due to the people’s, living in their, delusions, that the leaders they’re following have the people’s, best interest in mind, when the reality is, all these, popularly elected, or by representative electoral votes dictators are looking out for their own, individual, personal, agendas. And what’s worst, is that the people who are ruled, under them, refuse to, WAKE up, from that, hypnotized, COMATOSE, state, and so, we will, continue to be, enslaved by these, governments we live, under…

  6. Such powerful important questions in your poem.
    Your bird photos are lovely…seems the birds do better at life than most human-beans. 😦
    I read a book by an animal and bird expert (He spent his whole career working with animals and birds) and he shared that the lead bird does a great and safe job of leading to where they need to be and the farthest back birds will “call out” to encourage all the other in-between birds to keep flying. I thought this is so cool! 🙂
    (((HUGS))) 🙂 ❤️❤️
