Bomber’s Lament

Watch and wait in the dark

Don’t be afraid, killers can be killed

Like other men, don’t be afraid

Point the gun and squeeze the trigger

Killing is easy, living with it is hard

Dreams come, they go, only bad dreams

Where are the good dreams?

They died when you squeezed the trigger

The killers went to hell to burn and die

Your hell is here, it will last forever

God will forgive, if I ask him now

God has gone, leaving this world in disgust

He gave us paradise, we have destroyed it

Destroyed through greed and religious jealousy

The hard rain fell but couldn’t cleanse the soul

Nothing will cleanse it, for this we must suffer

Priests, man, woman, child, terrorist and soldier

The unborn have a chance but the hard rain fell

Bomber cried for help to God, no help came

Cried to his fellow man, they didn’t hear him

Only the warm arms of a woman gave comfort

Soothing an aching heart, wiping away the tears

All was not lost for God is still with us

Just listen and do what you know is right

Hold fast against evil that would control the world

Keep a strong heart, don’t be afraid of the dark

Our arms and hearts are strong, we will go on

God, where is he? He is in us to strike down evil

And the killers in the dark will be banished

But the hard rain fell and Bomber cried.

The first book featuring Bomber Brown, The Wolves of the Radfan, tells of his early life as a soldier fighting in the Middle East. Following on from Hard Rain, Bomber finds himself in more trouble in The Darkness. A story of how easy it is to go from good to bad in Northern Ireland and Switzerland.

Harvest

Harvest was forged in an emotional melting-pot. The author was walking one morning in the grounds of Fulbourn Psychiatric Hospital near Cambridge, having been held under a section of the Mental Health Act. This meant that she could not leave the hospital grounds. But the grounds were extensive and from the edge of the gardens she could see Fulbourn windmill standing on the brow of Fulbourn Hill. She reached deeply inside herself and came up with a poem which, though she had always written, came from a place more serious and resonant than ever before.
Gradually, other poems followed, detailing her interaction with the mental health system and the consoling connection she felt with the natural world. On her release, she finished the collection: songs, sonnets, hymns and ballads, a readable variety of responses to harsh experience.

But one man has been planning for this all along. To him, the Battle of Vukovar and the spread of violence symbolize an imperfect world that needs to be torn down and rebuilt from the ground up. He sees himself as a hero, a psychopath, an invincible death machine, and the next messiah prophesized by religion.

Havoc is the continuing saga of Ɖavo, a man bound by addiction and taboo, and his journey through the darkest depths of the human psyche. It is a rollercoaster ride through nightmares and twilight dimensions, where demons and monsters lurk around every corner.

This thought-provoking and exhilarating tour de force explores humanity’s failings and the path that leads us towards oblivion. It delves into one man’s journey and the heinous acts he embraces to put things right, with a mantra that dictates ‘no prisoners, death to all, spare no one.’ But as the demons grow restless and impatient, the plan risks spiraling out of control.
