TAKING SIDES
Flags
uniforms
alliances
defiances
causes of conflict
frustrations thereof
hopes for world peace
always out of reach
just autumn leaves
that served their purpose once
like silver tongues
sacrifices to the Gods.
Rallies
blind alleys
slave galleys pulling together
for the cause no-one can foresee
in the crows nest of my life
it all seems much of a muchness to me.

Hi Jennifer. It's easy to take refuge in our own way of life in Britain. Let's not forget the civil unrest shown nevertheless, but I wanted to show the longer term effect of years of the shifting tectonic plates of politics just grinding us down and the effect of age on our attitudes (mine in particular). the crows nest sort of came with slave galleys. Thanks !
Desmond, Chloe and Ian, thanks for liking.
