Election USA

Conniving madness-
ever in the wings- 
has come centre stage 
strutting with a fringe
as a stick
with which to stir 
a pot of bile and fear
whose drips and spills
point towards
a new strategy:
suicide
disorder
and self harm
that hang about
on every corner
on every farm
as wild seeds
are privately sown
in a different time
and every home.

A good poem, Tommy. Not entirely agreed on your thoughts, but that's not relevant.

I do anticipate the first official meeting of the two 'macho men', Trump and Putin. Who knows? Mutual respect may be a 'leveller' instead of a 'catalyst'.

Suicide Disorder would have made a great title - in a Joy Divisiony sort of way - good poem Tommy.

Aye Tommy,

I am dreading the outcome of what is plainly a farce.

The skinny is though if you want to gauge whats going to happen in 10 years in the UK, look at the USA now.

It won't be long before 'our' judges are being bought and our society be rotten throughout. It's verging that way as it is.

Not good omens for the UK.

Stay well blue,

Mike
