Poem: PUBES

I don’t mind a trim or a bit off the side 

but I won’t wax it off Hollywood style

 

If baldy’s your taste in that bit past you waist 

that’s sound but it’s just not my pubic style taste!

 

If you’re “Yippee-ki-yay.” that is totally fine

if your pants have Bruce Willis' hair style inside

 

But if it’s pressure from a fella as he prefers bare, 

why does he have a say in your bodily hair?

 

Girls have to shave under arms and all over our legs 

but man hair’s accepted, so the question it begs

 

Why can they rock hirsute but demand women shaven

when the beard on their face is a biscuit crumb haven?

 

His bathroom is stocked with beard styling wax 

but if you don’t strip bits, he says his knob will relax

 

If he says “wax off your fur” 

then you should wax strip his nads bare

so he can experience the painful removal of hair

 

The depilatory sting if we wax off our minge, 

or if we chose to shave it or thread it with string

 

It's our choice alone, how we privet our zones, 

or we leave our fleece natural, 

that's a choice women own

Mother Country

“Go back to where you come from, ‘cause we haven’t got the room!” Well if “they” should, so should you ye tit,  I see no ancient Britons in my view We’re stood in Liverpool you gobshite, once the gateway to the world We welcomed travellers from lands afar, and shipped slaves to yield our wealth Half of us are Irish bred, from the Emerald Isle they fled Victim to famine caused by rotten spuds and no wheat or seeds for bread That migration caused hostility, and they were accused of stealing jobs Then we focused on opposing sides of Catholics versus “proddy dogs” We did the same shit during Windrush, and put signs in window panes Aligning dogs savaging for scraps with nationality and race Now we criticise all non Christians for the actions of a few We forget our country’s religious terror past in this blinkered point of view “But they’re terrorists and rapists, they’re all abusing little girls” Check statistics mate, you’ll see all faiths and races share that worl...

POEM: Clever Kids

Clever Kids EMMA SEASMAN · SUNDAY, 10 JULY 2016 I’m proud to have two clever kids, but they cause me such confusion I have to Google search their words for conversational inclusion They’ve got brilliant researched knowledge and analytical insight I’m trying hard to to get a word in as they attempt to be polite See, they mean well and respect me, but I’m still here feeling daft When they have to stop, and show me how to use my iPhone apps With meticulous verbosity, beyond average teenaged patter They argue over human rights and things that really matter Even when we talk of music, my most confident chat of choice They can’t help but overthrow me with their Wikipedic voice The verbal spillage of their knowledge is like reading NME They’re music experts at the level of a doctorate degree My son is playing strings like Clapton, he knew his chords within a week He was playing lead within 9 months and he’s only just turned fourteen My daughter ...

POEM: Liverpool’s First Language (Eleanor Rathbone)

Liverpool’s a hot bed for protest and for change. Politics is ‘r first language debate’s how we engage. Our only Blue’s in Goodison Red’s ‘r governing flag. Yellow is for bellies who’s left is middle class. There was one of independence she shunned those primary hues, she fought for hidden voices, brought breadlines into view. She studied noble Dockers held spotlights on their cause, questioned unfair acts from bosses who paid crumbs for those on board. She questioned why our women who had equal sweat on brow had to work for less than pittance with them in charge expecting bows. She took arms against oppression infuriated by our plight: didn’t condescend or pity she cleared our paths so we could fight. She craved for equal power, pushed for knowledge to be shared, created services to guide us, so our voices could be heard. She addressed the global challenge of how women where abhorred, subject to violence and repression, ignored and robbed of...
