Mothers Day Poem

We all have a Mom and I hope that everyone who reads this blog understands the words I write as they come from my heart, my Mom passed away when I was seventeen; she was blind, deaf and in the end could not walk.  But she loved me, her only son with all her heart, when she touched my face throughout my teenage years, her touch was gentle, loving and proud.  Looking back, perhaps I was never the best son, but I tried.  I tried to deal with things through the years and now I'm in my forties perhaps as the years have gone on I've become a better person, if she were here now would be proud?  I hope so.........

 

Mom

Mom, Mom; where have you gone,

You left me behind your only son.

I was seventeen when you left me that day,

The tears and the heartache, still have a say!

I know you’d be proud of my family and life,

But I miss you so much, it still cuts like a knife.

So clever, so loving, so gentle and brave,

True for your life from cradle to grave!

For all the things I did wrong in my youth,

I apologise sincerely, my words speak the truth.

Maybe one day I’ll see you and say it true,

Mom, Mom; I love you….X

BBC School News Report

A big thanks to the pupils and staff at Hillcrest School and Comunity College in Dudley, West Midlands, for making me welcome on Thursday 16th March.

The pupils interviewed me as part of a project they are doing with the BBC, the interview can be seen by following the link below.  I've got to say they did a really profesional job, well done to all involved you are a credit to the school and the area, once again thank you.

Why the idea?

Why the idea, where did it come from?
The idea for The Semiotic Networks came several years ago when I was putting the Christmas lights up around our house!  I'm scared of heights and had this idea about a man falling from a ladder where he then ends up in a coma, while in a coma he wakes up in a parallel world?

How can this happen?
I've always wondered why they have the signs in hospitals about turning off your mobile phone?  Why?  What does the simple mobile phone do to hospital equipment?  Enter the idea about bluetooth affecting the life support machines, causing the patients to wake in a parallel world?

What happens in this parallel world?
The victims are alone and afraid each of them waking at the scene of their own accident to find everyone has disappeared.  They search for signs of life but the world is empty.....until they find The Semiotic Networks; a hidden channel on their TV set, here they can find other victims like them and communicate!

Is it safe in The Semiotic Networks?
Noooooooooo cue 'The Bald Men' they are people who have died in the world of the semiotic networks, forever trapped to hunt the living!  Very nasty people!

What should we do?
Next time you go to hospital switch off your mobile phone!
