A tune for my godson Todd who's five years old it was inspired by listening to him talking about his modern dance class which involves quite a lot of acrobatics including parkouring from the kitchen table onto the floor then spinning round on his back hissing loudly like a fried egg or an angry snake. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steven-richardson5/message

A poem I wrote about our cenotaph , every town in Britain was one of these grisly reminders to the great war and then ever war there after .At first they were a pilgrimage for the patriotic to come and almost worship their glorious dead but now they're used by so many different swathes of society as a place to rebel,then there's the drunks and drug addicts who seem to favour and gravitate towards these ancient monuments almost similar to those druids of who worship the circle of Stonehenge. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steven-richardson5/message

A song I wrote to commemorate the courage of Christine, the first transgender beauty queen who, back in 1953, bravely decided to have her gender reassigned to its rightful sexuality, in order that she might be set free from the burden of living with her very unwanted masculinity. But it would be a long journey from the first roll of that snowball before the LGBTQ+ community finally made their stand for equality at the pub we now know as Stonewall. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steven-richardson5/message

A comprehensive piece discusses the mercenaries known as the "Dogs of War" who engage in conflict for financial gain across the globe. Africa has long struggled with the presence of such militants, and even today, they continue to sow chaos worldwide, including in regions like Israel, Palestine, Russia, and Ukraine. These "Dogs of War" are hired by numerous superpowers, and their growing numbers have started to turn against those who once trained and supported them – including countries such as America, Russia, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, among others. In fact, all major powers have played a sinister role in funding these private armies to carry out their covert operations. The unfortunate consequence is that these mercenaries consistently choose Africa as their battleground. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/steven-richardson5/message

A song for a love honey we called Ann Summers due to her working there, she asked me for a birthday card poem and caused me a writer's block which when I tried to explain she cursed me a look of pure disdain , so I wrote this along the lines of a frigid flustering fool that she'd doubtless be serving at the Ann summers shop.
