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

123

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.

 

RAC

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.
