And thanks to Nigel and Holden.

Thank you, Greg. I appreciate your support. It's sad that so much of the world is like this, of course, with ordinary people's lives destroyed by the lies and violence of (mostly) men with too much power.

And thanks to Ray, Kevin, Hélène, Russell and K Lynn for liking this poem.

Very powerful, angry, and crafted, too. Excellent title, bitter last line.
