Is your name a pretence?
By you, but who are you?
You are, aren’t you?
A distinctive scowl and careless attitude.
That is in you.
Your song.
Why is your name so different?
Have you had enough of being yourself,
That you had to pretend?
Am I wrong?
Have I mistaken your character by appearances?
When I saw you as you are it was for the first time
Then I had enough already.
You call yourself 1980, but by many other names.
You are known as more and this we know well, so well, by your
Distinctive scowl and careless attitude
This blew me. 1980 is just a name, isn’t it?
You were more than
Distinctive
More than a scowl
More than careless
More than an attitude
For underneath,
You were saying,
“I come as a whist,
But also.”
I was never the same again.

Peter Veugelaers played cricket at one stage for reps and first eleven and was very well regarded as a performer, his best bowling figures were taking six wickets for four runs. In 1989, he took up a writing course and asked what he would do with writing. He said he wanted to help people as best he could. In 1990, he made the life changing decision to follow his instincts to do Christian work because of his newfound faith in Christ. In 1996 he started writing for Giveway magazine as a Christian film reviewer. In 2000, he started to write for the faith-based Challenge Weekly as an article writer while finding more outlets for film reviewing and articles. In 2017, he unofficially retired from writing for publishers in those forms and went blogging. He writes poetry, fiction, aims to publish new articles about various things or post them on his blog, pens devotions, reads every day, and watches cricket when he can. He has recently published a blog that will review films again.
