Cage the bird and silence its song.
Then take the lion to the dentist to extract its teeth
And give them to the loudest person lying buried beneath
The rabble of mediocracy where they cheered and laughed
As intelligence was murdered without a single gasp!
Cage the bird and silence its song,
In case, its individualism disturbs the sycophants too long.

About Daniel Kemp
Daniel Kemp, ex-London police officer, mini-cab business owner, pub tenant and licensed London taxi driver never planned to be a writer, but after his first novel —The Desolate Garden — was under a paid option to become a $30 million film for five years until distribution became an insurmountable problem for the production company what else could he do?
Nowadays he is a prolific storyteller, and although it’s true to say that he mainly concentrates on what he knows most about; murders laced by the intrigue involving spies, his diverse experience of life shows in the short stories he compiles both for adults and children.
He is the recipient of rave reviews from a prestigious Manhattan publication, been described as —the new Graham Green — by a managerial employee of Waterstones Books, for whom he did a countrywide tour of signing events, and he has appeared on ‘live' television.
“two things are infinate, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the Universe”
Einstein
Education to some relevant issues might be the cure.
Perhaps a book a song a word
perhaps another day to choose to say
what is lost is lost, what remains remains
and what I have in front of me
is what I choose to bend
to make it the life I was meant
some do it through lyrics, some do it through careers
some through politics, some through hussle
some through work, some through books
some through words
either way we say it
either way we see it
it is what it is
and my two and myself
will come forth
and so will the rest of the world
for the deepest need of the human need
is simply to be and exist
in a place called home
for the deepest need of the human need
is simply to be and exist
in a place called home……. Amen to that, chika2b
