The Devils Breath
©1999 Rose Bygrave
Picking up twigs like little birds
The God-forsaken wind’s blown in
Burning sticks from the burning hills
The Devil's breathing down on us
And all around
We watched the sky
As every thread of smoke
Rose high
The wind is in the north
Like fire on the ground
The Devil’s breath bears down
He’s off in the car and he’s gone again
And everyone knows the possible score
You see he’s fighting flame with sticks and bags
Then back in the car he’s home once more
‘The wind went round
we lost our way.
Jesus’ he said ‘we nearly got caught today’
The wind is in the north
Like fire on the ground
The Devil’s breath bears down
I dream of fire in my sleep
I dream the fire’s at the door
I watch the weather like a hawk up high
Hunting burning twigs below
The grass is turning brown
The wind is going round
In every country town
We’re still nervous on the ground
The wind is in the north
Like fire on the ground
The Devil’s breath bears down

Here In My World
©1999 Rose Bygrave
Here in My world of wealth and style
A terrorists gun and a ‘Karva smile’
Remember that shirt all clean and white… and the tie
Remember those people all locked in tight
I still see you
I still hear you and
I’m looking all around for similar dealings
Well I think I might have found some here in the back yard
See this boy
This boy is breaking
Body bare and cold as stone
See this law –black and white – big and brutal
‘I am nothing here on my own’
‘You don’t see me , you don’t hear me
You don’t help me from the ground when I am bleeding
You don’t know me, understand me, you wont help me from the ground when I’m defeated’
‘Are you blind
Or just born unkind
Either way your still a terrorist in a clean white shirt’
‘See this compound fence between us
For pity sake I was driven from my home
I’d rather live and love and die back in my country
I am nothing here on my own’
‘You don’t see me, you don’t hear me
You don’t listen when I’m defeated
You don’t know me, understand me, And I am frightened by your lack of feeling’
‘Are you blind
Or just born unkind
Either way your still a terrorist in a clean white shirt’
