There's a grim, eternal truth to this that people around the world will recognise, Steve ... and people on this island will not.

A moving, heartfelt write J.C. And who knows what we see at the end? And beware the ancestry bug, it took up all my spare time when I first started with it!

One of eternity’s great mysteries JC. Who can say? This is a very tender write, which I like from you. I remember the so-called last words of Steve Jobs who is alleged to have said ‘it’s beautiful’ or something similar. Word of warning for the ancestry thing. Be careful what you dig up! 😇

Thanks everyone, for your likes and comments. I'm cooler today and see problems in the thinking and writing (that 'whom' has to go! and the ricocheting from anger to mania is worse). Yet I'm bad at revising. What I'll probably do is write another, less emotional poem. I don't know if the WOL blog is the best place for reviews and criticism. Maybe I should post in the Discussion forum?

A very impressive poem. It expresses the anger and urgency of the situation perfectly.

Hi Jo, this is beautiful. I was very much enjoying it and then you hit me with 'All the Paul-particles, dancing in the sky' 😥 Brilliant writing! Tom

Happened with my first poetry book 'Return to Kemptown' in a oxfam shop in Manchester. Autographed too. I loved seeing it there. Better than the bin is my thoughts.

Thank you for the comment, Kevin; yes, let's call it 'mysticism', it sounds better than 'incomprehensible'! 😂

Not sure about versatility J.C. I just write any old stuff that comes into my head 😄. Probably influenced by what I'm listening to or watching! But thanks.

A timely reminder, Stephen. We should never take our liberal comforts for granted. Democracy is a fragile construct which requires defending from time to time.

Thanks Greg. I did nearly despair some days when the word seemed impossible (communist?!!) but it’s always possible to find a way forward if you try hard enough.
