A London Lads Life (ePub)

This book does exactly as it says on the can, intrigues and tantalizes. Divided into subjects, categories and issues on pretty much every damn subject. A nonstop run of verse from beginning to end. Candid verse spewed like torpedo vomit in a true word raconteur's tradition. If you were born and grew up in a particular city, and in an ever-changing world: witnessed decades of successive governments ignoring you and failing miserably. These poems depict those decades. In particular wasting millions in tax payer's money? Squandering billions on dumped stupid go nowhere projects. Extreme Inequality, seeing corruption, injustices, and crime rates soaring with no accountability. less than five percent of burglary and robberies are solved in the UK. That's one in ten. A quality of life deteriorating before your eyes? You would be joining millions of frustrated others, all over the world in thinking this. If you fall into this category, you are going to love this book. Like me, you will find yourself reminiscing, comparing and relating to what was, and what is now. My particular city is London. This induced me to comprise a comprehensive book of poems and comparisons depicting and voicing my opinions regarding the drastic changes in a city that I once loved. These poems speak volumes and really hit home. Home being the operative word. Being a property entrepreneur; I have had so many. I target just a few in the nostalgia section of this book. Many candid and personal, some jovial, some poignant, some for the good, some for the bad, and some for the ugly. As I write, the world in in the grip of an invisible enemy; a serious COVID-19 pandemic.
