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.

Times of such uncertainty
These times of such uncertainty
what’s changed
for our people here?
Isn’t this the way
it’s always been
for our people here?
These times of such uncertainty.
. the bear awakes.
Yes what will be said?

about what they have done?
asked the bear.
i do not know, i replied sadly.

We accuse
We accuse!
We the people accuse the political class of whatever party of misleading, misinforming and lying to the voters of this country. In their malfeasance they have acted to prevent the voters of this country from exercising their democratic rights as citizens to vote freely and fully informed as to how they should vote. In so doing the political classes have acted to undermine the democratic process in this country for their own self-promotion and personal ambitions!
We the people accuse the political class of whatever party of abuse of the voting system and bringing the democratic process in this country into disrepute. We demand that the referendum outcome be put to one side and that the dishonest and abusive practices of the political class be brought before the High Court or whatever relevant Court is laid out in the regulations of the Referendum and that a new referendum is put in place.
We accuse the political class of gross negligence in its duty to inform the voters and that a General Election should take place so that a vote of no confidence can be made.
Referendum Day
Referendum day
Its true people have short memories
Those people who conveniently forget
the generation of those who sacrificed
so much for their children’s rights
that well-worn verse of remembering
has been tossed to one side
but will be dragged out again
by the self-proclaimed patriot
of that there is little doubt
mouthed over and over again
by the liars and scoundrels
wrapping themselves in the flag
as if it’s a kind of comfort blanket.
But we need to be aware today
the hate hounds have been let loose
and we’ll need to protect our own.

Days light

The fog had lifted
The day colours shone through
And I could see me again
