Breaking news!
Breaking news
Stormy weather ahead
A gale blowing
And angry seas
The captains
left the bridge
in a sulk
the mutineers
want to steer
this listing hulk
but those men
have they integrity?
I didn’t vote
For silence
Or closed minds.
Breaking news!
No lifeboats
On this ship
At least
not for me
or you, or mine
I’ll not resign
For this fate
Anyone else
Up for a fight?

A dark blue shawl
A dark blue shawl
The evenings grow
dark and cold
even though
its midsummer
So I gather
an Ethiopian shawl
round my shoulders.
I feel weariness strain
in my neck and arms
and the need to rest
But the struggle continues
to keep this openness
to listen and hear
and remember
what we learned
from a different
people and place
that will remain
forever close
to my heart.
RAC
They keep lying.
An election was won
on a lie
nobody would
hear the truth
the lie unchallenged
was used again
and left unchallenged
and another election won
came and went
the lie left
unchallenged
A referendum
thought up
as a wheeze
lets say
a ploy
to try to unite
a party
that will always
stay divided
a referendum
nobody wanted
and then guess what
the telling
of more lies
and hate
and people
heard what they wanted
one day I hope
we’ll wake up
and open our eyes.
