Its A Pushover
Re-writing history's a
Picnic Cromwell's
Puritans
Henry V111 and the
Monasteries
Pol Pot Stalin
Mao Tse Tung killied
Millions when they
Pulled down the statue of
Saddam Hussein how that
Transformed Iraq the
Taliban blowing up the
Buddhas made Afghanistan a
Model state simply
Toss a lump of metal into the
Canal

Clang!
Clang!
Across the centuries
A clanging sound
The clang of a statue
As it falls to the ground
The clang of ideology
Toppling from its perch
The clang of the chains
And the swish of the birch
The clang of a bell
Ringing across the land
The clang of the people
As they make a stand
The clang of oppression
And the clang of the strange
And the clang...

Beryl Burton (1937-1996)
Beryl was a racing cyclist
The mistress of chain and sprocket
A national time trial heroine
She was in nobody's pocket
Like Dorothy Hyman from Cudworth
The girl from Leeds was undersold
London media ignored her
The BBC kept her in the cold
Today she would be lauded
Her talent would make a million
Sponsors would lionise her
Radiant on that golden pillion

The watcher
The watcher
He watches all the comings and goings in the park
Always standing always leering
No one ever speaks to him
He is silient as stone
He watches for weeks and years
A marble heart and a marble soul
No tears form on his cheeks he captures only one expression
He watches with eyes that never move or close
Birds are his friends they perch on his shoulders
