Where is the Love

Where is the Love by Michael Casey

Where is the Love

Dead in a ditch and covered in mud

Where is the love 

Dead and covered in lies

Where are all our boys 

Dead and cremated like rubbish

On the battle field 

No bodies returned for us to bury 

Putin does not want proof of folly

Lined up neatly in a cemetery 

Of course some get a new car 

Instead of a body of an only son

Where has all the Gazpromm money gone 

To nothing but to pave the road to Hell

Why did Putin choose to send our boys

To die just for him Putin 

Just for PUTINS vanity 

This is mostly, insanity 

Time to get rid of him Putin 

And build a Peaceful Russia

Based on love thy neighbours 

Didn’t a guy called Jesus say that 

But what became of him

Christmas we begin again with 

A Virgin called Mary 

Do much better than Putin 

Look to the Stars and not

Death in the mud 

For Putin

Begin again with a baby born to Mary 

Christmas light in the Darkness

Amen

hope putin’s listening to me

I've updated this 18th March 2022 I'm Michael Casey from Birmingham England, the fat silver haired writer in shades. Beware of Others with the EXACT SAME NAME, they are not me, and would not want to be me ... use Google UK to find me, otherwise Posh Americans pop up I've done loads of writing, about 2,000,000 Words worth over 34years now But before I started to write, I LISTENED to BBC Radio 4 for 20 years, from the age of 10 or younger Frank Brown our lodger, went back to County Tyrone and he gifted us his Bush Radio. He'd be nearly 100 now if he is still alive, so say a prayer for him 54 years in love with words, and I still look so dashing. I have a picture in the attic, just like Dorian Gray I've also had an interest in Politics for 54 years with my dad heckling the tv and Politicians. I almost immediately had a hit, a play called Shoplife was accepted but not finally produced by a Theatre. The Kenneth More Theatre, so thank them for sparing you all. This was back in 1989 yes, 30 years plus ago, the play was written in 1988. So since then I'm more than good enough, as a writer. Anything else..... I also ignore those who just cannot write, pick your own candidate I tend to write Comedy as I'd rather make you laugh than cry I have written over 2000 short pieces of writing, yes 2000 " (c) by Michael Casey" If you include "chats" 3700 samples, all told, the chats do NOT go into my books when I compile them. My first book ,a full length comedy/drama is The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker You can read translations of it here on this site Up to 20 different languages/translations have been read on the same day via this site, here on Wordpress look fo Translations Galore page, and more And in over 90 Countries world wide too so you have no excuse, find your own language and read The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker or Quick Stories or any other of the books in Translation on my Wordpress This proves to me that the humour does travel I have readers in over 100 countries now, just to repeat myself From Nepal to American Samoa and all places North South East and West Or its just a hit man on the run, or whatever Unknown Region Means It may also mean that only non English Speakers like my stuff Coverage but lacking penetration as marketing folks might say I did get 21,000 readers in 3 weeks for the Polish version of In Search of an Indian Princess. which is basically the final 3 chapters of The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker all by word of mouth. And 50,000 plus in Christmas week 2021 If you add up all the downloads from my Wordpress + 13,000 when somebody stole the file. I have had more copies than Boris Johnson's Churchill book distributed. Maybe 40,000 copies . Not made a penny from it, free downloads in multiple languages. Reverse Logic, if the world knows me, eventually somebody will pay me But in reality I'll be dead first, and then just 2 pennies to pay the ferryman is enough I've cut the Plaudits, you can read/decide for yourself As for my life, I was born in the shadow of a Brewery, I was a computer operator for a market research company into alcohol sales, 21 years altogether, StatsMR Call centre guy, like everybody once in their life I was also a Trainee Betting Shop Manager I was a concierge and 10 other roles at Crowne Plaza NEC Birmingham for 3 years. Spent 3 years at Pinsent Masons Law firm in Birmingham I even hid a copy of my comic novel "BBU" in the Law Library at Pinsent Masons, well just for a day.. I did a few other jobs too, working life in reverse so to speak and I was an Esol English teacher in an Islamic school, for a year, I knew I could teach. I got Excellent, Excellent and Exemplary on the external assessment, yes really And I asked them to pray for me at least once a day beside which I've had a Shanghai connection for 20 years now, including 2 bilingual daughters and being a hausfrau a long time too, I'm a great dad, as I've had lots of time with my daughters I can always make somebody talk or laugh I believe my short stories could be used to teach English, just package them up correctly or App them Or a Tale a Day from Michael, a story telling App What else, I was brawn and brains, I used to be as strong as an Ox, now I just smell like one We have a cat called Totoro, my daughters wanted a pet I said they could have a dog if I died , or a cat if I had a heart attack. A few weeks after that in Jan 2015 I had an Unplanned Quadruple Heart Bypass , it was supposed to be a triple but it ended up a Quadruple, 33% extra free so to speak. Now with an add on Hernia, the size of your fist, pushing through my bypass scar, it hurts when I laugh, so don't make me laugh I also have arthritis and other hindrances that hobble my body and give me pain galore. But my mind is free, though having read my stories you may wish I didn't bother But I'll ignore you, and carry on regardless. I do get heckled by my own Tinnitus these past 3 years+, so I have music on all night long to drown it out. I sleep with Miley, Taylor, Eric Clapton and Will Young, maybe I should buy a bigger bed, or just get a better mattress. Tinnitus is a curse, just trust me I know, each day I wake up, Tinnitus SCREAMS at me for a full hour till it calms down That's the end of the tidy version of my life To finish here's the list of my 20 books, so far:- 1.The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker 2.Shoplife 3.Essays and Plays 4.Blogs 2011 5.300 and Not OUT 6.Shorts 2013 7.More Shorts 2014 8.Quick Stories 9.Still Alive 2015 10.Undiscovered Words 2016 11.Still Smiling 2017 12.Altogether Now 13.New Horizons 14.14 Up 15.15 Down 16.Sweet Sixteen 17. 17 Again 18. 18 New Views 19. The Final Cut of the 19th Hole 20. 2020 Words 21. 21 Door Keys, key to the door 21 on Bingo, hence title, 53,000 words so far I write bullet point stuff mainly now as Tinnitus stops me from getting in the zone to write, story stories. (c) by Michael Casey stuff though my bullet points are better than some "writers" discuss, miaow. That's why I dream of a speed typist, so I could dictate from the sofa https://www.amazon.co.uk/Michael-Casey/e/B00571G0YC to buy ebooks Loads of Korean and Arabic translations downloaded from my Wordpress, 1000s of them Quick Stories in Korean is a big hit. Maybe Kim in North Korea should read my books, instead of wasting his countries resources on what? Just keeping one person in power, him? Instead of joining the real world and opening a string on golf courses. That way we could get rid of Trump too. Into the sunset, as they play golf. Tears for a Butcher will be the sequel to BBU, and it too will be 600pages, however I really need a speed typist to put it down, while I sit and dictate like Barbara Cartland, and hopefully my speed typist would be impressed. we'd marry have half Korean kids, and form a Kpop band with our 4 new kids, with me as manager. And yes this is more for my bucket list, as Tinnitus keeps me awake too much, 6 months of not sleeping till dawn is really killing me Michael Casey aka the fat silver haired writer in shades from Birmingham England https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/efda2dca0de5b9269191b7c8b0102473?s=400&d=mm

lights are on our Christmas tree now

lights are on our Christmas tree now

Watch Kim's Convenience on TV

so funny, reminds me of my Chinese family

that's all

my head is throbbing but at least everybody is home for Christmas

though Totoro our cat is looking for a hot tin roof

and yes pray for Peace

as prayer does work

in God's time

or you may think God has a Mickey Mouse watch

I just had a pop up I'd won an Iphone 14 Pro Max

just 2 quid delivery

DO NOT TRUST IT

so I'll carry on using my house brick

and by the way somebody

STOLE MY TORTOISE FROM OUTSIDE MY HOUSE

a wooden one I'd put body lotion all over

so watch out for Thieves this Christmas

or is it a shell company stealing them

that's all 


1978 so big you could sleep on top of it





In the end 1917 prediction will win

Today is a pain day 14th Dec

Today is a pain day 14th Dec

If I awake in the night and the Tinnitus is too much

I'll try and stop being bullied by it, and being a victim in my bed

By getting up and having toast and tea 

at 4 or 5 or 6 am

Then Totoro goes out for an early morning run

while I say the Rosary

no I'm far from Holy but it tires you

and then you can go back to bed and sleep again

Till I wake 2 hours later and Tinnitus is screaming in my head

So finally I get up again

and now back of my head feels like a cricket bat hit me

and Tinnitus forces my head down to my chin

No fun at all

Yet yesterday if you had a snapshot of me at the GPs

you'd say he's a funny fellow

in all senses

But right now as I sit here at my desk

I'm a mess

yes I can talk to you

but I wouldn't

 be able to write a story

as the noise and pain is so distracting

My small daughter had an online lesson

as the French University finishes a week after

her Anthropology one

she is actually at 2 Universities

and as she finished happily

as I was saying a Peasants 6 decade Rosary

I got one by accident

and I discovered Saint  Bernadette had one at Lourdes

So maybe its a sign

as small daughter just revealed

Dad, I could do a MA, a Masters afterwards

In French stuff, so Grace a Bernadette no doubt

so can you send a sponsor Bernadette at to help

pay for it

my niece by the way has a Double First, no not a drink

but in English and then not one but two Masters

and I think she's now doing another qualification too

Yes that's my Family for you

Her brother my nephew did a BioChem degree

and is now doing Medicine

And all have a Blacksmith who left school at 14 Grandpa

on the Irish side

Me I'm full of paper, no not qualifications

Just carrying boxes of paper in Computer and Print rooms

Though the 20 books I've written would take a lot of paper too

Random is my Life and Pain is part of it

So anyway, I told small daughter to carry on if she wants to

As she'll be working till 70

and be aware everybody Pension probably won't exist by then

So Save as you go along

BUT

if you enjoy what you are doing 

THEN

you never feel you are working

The most tiring and physical job I did 

was CPNEC hotel

but I really enjoyed it the most of all

oh it may be a secret what small daughter

is musing about so tell nobody yet

she's still in 2nd year

Her University though does  sponsor 

The Pole Dancing she does too

for exercise

as other sports were jammed out

but it won't be on her cerificate

When she does get her degree

my brother if he's free will stand in for me again

as my Health and Pain can suddenly appear

so I missed my big daughter's graduation

as bent double in pain, or noise in my head

is too much for me to chance anywhere

 yes it's that bad and worse when it kicks off

Yesterday I stunk of NEEM pain killer at my GPs

So I have a Window to do things

This is my life

These Ramblings don't appear in my books either

Just Story(c) by Michael Casey

1000s of them, Millions of Words

Yet again a big thanks to Jeff Bezo and Amazon Music Unlimited

as Music is my saviour 

I'll stop now

And before I forget

People who never went to University or never did A Levels

Can still be More Intelligent that folks with lots of letter behind their names

Intelligence is Speed of Thought
