You have not seen my wife cry Her tears a midnight secret shower Fall gentle rain on my muddy field As I cling to her my sanctuary tower Her thumping heart drowns out my howls Her soothing hands break nightmare’s spell She holds me sobbing yet again ‘Til sleep or daybreak ends night’s hell My gift to her my silent tongue She need not go where I have been I will not talk of what was done She’s blessed not knowing what I have seen I remember when she waved me off She loved the man that caught that train But like countless who went over the top That man would not come home again For her no grave to kneel and tend No ivory tombstone shining plaque No chance to mourn no moving on She’s forced to live with what came back There’re women like her across the land That care for father husband son While Generals signed an armistice These unknown soldiers war goes on The shattered limbs and shattered lives Empty sleeves and empty chairs Shattered hopes and shattered minds Empty futures empty stares Each family hides an open wound And battles just to carry on Yet while others glory in yesterday’s war There is another to be won With knitted hat atop knitted brow White poppy the medal that she’ll wear She steels herself to go over the top Her no-mans-land is the town square Machine gun taunts and shrapnel spit Abuse that cuts like bayonet thrusts From pompous fools and thuggish yobs Who think that war is glorious She marches on their entrenched views And pleads the case for no more war If we’re not remembering that war is hell Then what are we remembering for? She wages war on both these fronts An endless fight day after day To keep what’s left of me alive and Save others from ending up this way When she calls for peace she shouts out loud But her lips stay sealed on private wars Her public face is dignity Our sadness kept behind closed doors I want to save her from this curse Each day, I hope today I’ll die Each night we weep for what we’ve lost But she won’t let you see her cry

Slug Sunshine comes streaming through panes in the door Gallery spotlights, mark out a square shape On carpet, now canvas, stretched on the floor With silvery lines of an abstract landscape Overnight artist, you already know From signature paint on board, tile, and rug Their work controversial in every show Not everyone’s favourite - common garden slug Beholders differ defining beauty Some will see artist, where others see pest Pleasing everyone is no one’s duty Artists have fans and can ignore the rest Don’t fret how your work will be judged over time Some will see threads of light, others just slime Peter Underwood (August 2025)

From every river to every sea People are people and just want to be free But we find persecution wherever we go From every river to every sea Human needs are the same - peace and safety To live how we want to live, to love, learn and grow People are people and just want to be free But freedom’s denied by people like you and me Whose prejudice and ignorance make blood and tears flow From every river to every sea So, some take up arms, some beg on bent knee And from protests to parliaments, some try to show People are people and just want to be free But the world’s full of souls who’ve been forced to flee Because their homes were not safe and had no choice but to go From every river to every sea So, how do we build the world we want to see Start with fairness and kindness, and through love show you know People are people and just want to be free From every river to every sea Peter Underwood August 2025
