You Make Me
(I make you?)
You make me drink and smoke strong stuff, you keep me awake throughout the night
You make me talk you make me shout, you make me rage and pick a fight
A 'Holy Man' has just been told he's a fake and a cheat
You make me laugh with scorn and ire, you make me boast and jeer
You make me drool with lustful desire, you make me letch and leer
You make me feel dull and bored with life, you undermine my motivation
You make me frightened I hide away, you’re the author of my situation
You make me bitter and shrink in self-doubt, you make me feel unclean
Hurry up! Hurry up! You must change your behaviour that I may feel serene.

Is not a saint, Rabbi, Imam, Bishop or Scientologist as likely to throw a tantrum as the rest of us?

Who's angry?
Who cares.
Could it be you?
Me?
Does it matter?
BBC Panorama's cool, dispassionate investigative reporter John Sweeney covering Scientology.
You or I could never, ever, surely, express such sentiment?
Is John the 'innocent victim' of whatever set him off?
What could the Scientologists say to calm him?
The, 'Achilles Heel' of the human race?
"Punch & Judy" (ha ha)
I think not

If you create a spark with your cigarette lighter the fuel has no choice but to ignite.

She says, “Hello”, his world explodes into light
“No!” and for decades he's locked in an unwinnable fight
How am I to guess what effect I may have upon you?
Believe me when I explain, I try, each day, to be on cue.
Desire, belief and expectation, mysteries beneath the smile
"Know Thyself" not easy, be strong to act with guile.
("He" and "She", "I" and "You" could be swapped?)

"Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned" gentlemen remain calm and polite?
"I will take such revenge, like a dog, you will be sorry" he rants without respite
What is at work? Ego and emotion? An invisible, inner complexity?
Is there a cure? Are you immune? Do you know you won't hit such a perplexity?
Abdomens, nerve endings, organs and muscles, our bodies we dissect to heal
Behaviours and outbursts, foul language, neglect, to learn, must we swim the surreal?
Upon your desk I splatter this mess, you, I am sure, know more than I
Imagine a world where such conflicts are understood, together, how hard can we try?

A forty year old police superintendent:
(Quote from "Bent Coppers" by Graeme McLagan pages 410-411)
'...telephone answering machine was handed to the police. Horwell read extracts from translations of three of them:'

"I will take such revenge from you, that like a dog, you will be sorry that you will never treat me like this again. I am going to declare war on you and I have declared it as of now. See what I will do to you. From now on you are dead. I will start with your mum first. If in the next hour you don't leave a message. I am so emotionally disturbed now, that anything is possible from me. You think it's a bluff. I give you an hour and see what I will do to you... If you think I am worried about my career, to get back at you, you must be joking. Just remember what I did to B's husband. It is not safe for you to stay in that house. You are not safe. I am going to come and catch you, on my mother's life. If you are at home, get out, if you are at Kensington because if I see you, I am going to lose it right now... You want war, bitch, you're going to get some war. You wlll see now what I can do so you will cry for years. First I will start with your family, then I come to you and your reputation. I will spread all over London that you are a prostitute."
