Mr Lee Lives
THE HERO’S JOURNEY is the story of each and every one of us.
It’s the story of the Pain and Love, Joy and Despair, Struggle and Success in all our lives.
In this series of 5, Mr Lee has created his vision of the most iconic moments in The Hero’s Journey. We follow our young Hero from his humble beginnings in the towering blocks of the Metropolis, to a meeting with the benevolent Goddess in the Cloud Kingdom, through snakes and thorns in the Underworld, between the jaws of the Dragon until he reaches the peace of self-enlightenment and self-knowledge.
“Knowledge is Freedom”
(Miles Davis)
Our hero has been hurt and humbled, tried and tested to his limits. He has trudged to the top of the mountain and sunk to the bottom of the ocean. He’s travelled to the end of the world and back again. He is scarred and weather worn but unbroken. His experiences have cleansed his heart and spirit and allowed him to truly know himself. The fear of death has been replaced by the freedom to live.

Slough
Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough!
It isn't fit for humans now,There isn't grass to graze a cow.
Swarm over, Death!
Come, bombs and blow to smithereens
Those air -conditioned, bright canteens,
Tinned fruit, tinned meat, tinned milk, tinned beans,
Tinned minds, tinned breath.
Mess up the mess they call a town-
A house for ninety-seven down
And once a week a half a crown
For twenty years.
And get that man with double chin
Who'll always cheat and always win,
Who washes his repulsive skin
In women's tears:
And smash his desk of polished oak
And smash his hands so used to stroke
And stop his boring dirty joke
And make him yell.
But spare the bald young clerks who add
The profits of the stinking cad;
It's not their fault that they are mad,
They've tasted Hell.
It's not their fault they do not know
The birdsong from the radio,
It's not their fault they often go
To Maidenhead
And talk of sport and makes of cars
In various bogus-Tudor bars
And daren't look up and see the stars
But belch instead.
In labour-saving homes, with care
Their wives frizz out peroxide hair
And dry it in synthetic air
And paint their nails.
Come, friendly bombs and fall on Slough
To get it ready for the plough.
The cabbages are coming now;
The earth exhales.
