A sense of frustration at the seeming helplessness which engulfs us. It seems strange to think Macmillan said: "you've never had it so good." Perhaps things were more egalitarian then but that's a big question and one for more focussed minds than mine. The poem ends optimistically and poses that big question.
A deserved poem for POTW, congratulations Janey.

No matter what nay-sayers may have to say - the concept is still one worth fruition and thoughtful dissection. Nicely done.?

This poem is inspired by and dedicated to another kind of pen holder—those who have been growing food and rearing animals on their allotments for many years, who are now fighting to remain on them as, due to austerity cuts, councils are trying to sell off the land.
