Book Cover & Preview Text
Chosen Son - ...'So corrupt you lost our trust
we’re the people that put you there
with whom you soon lost touch
No you never really cared for us
There’s gonna be hard times ahead
Far worse than you forecast or said
The winds of change are blowing strong
All the way from Liverpool to London
To think that you were once our chosen son!'.... Dark Lady - 'Dark lady with the brown eyes you kept me awake with your love-cries I work the day but she works the night We passed on the stairs you looked so innocent, so free as you bounced up past me like a breeze as if you didn’t have a care with your black Caribbean hair leaving a fresh fragrance in the air behind you as you moved'... High Rise World of Skyscrapers - 'In this high rise world of skyscrapers fast cars and high speed money makers splashing the cash faster than the (L.A) Lakers ‘but will you ever share the light?'...
'...And once we’ve visited the music scene look back and marvel at where we’ve been We can travel across space and time, visit different worlds, produce our own wine
Have a glass or three in a distant galaxy Yeah take my hand and come with me'... <>
Gold in your Hands - (You may not know it but…)
You’ve got gold in your hands
read on and understand
it’s like ‘you couldn’t fly
but now you can’....

This collection of intriguing poems certainly hits the mark. The author from the very first page draws you in, on what is quite a unique journey of adventure and interest.
Phil McClean uses his subjective powers of creativity and imagination to produce this well crafted, well-balanced offering of contemporary art poems. The spectrum of material here is far beyond that of many peers covering a wide range of topical subjects from protest, hope, love, adventure, pure fiction and humour to serious thought-provoking issues of the day.
