Greetings from a member of anti-growth coalition, we do things differently here, we value people and animals, we want to conserve and respect the environment and we definitely do not think libertarian lunacy will save us. No, we are too old for that, seen it before, didn't like it in the 70s, 80s, or the 90s or even when it was repackaged as Austerity. Honestly you have to laugh at this government or you would cry at how inept they are.
Here's a poem about my own history. Recently I was in a workshop and we had to write about where we were from. I wrote this.
I am from the waters of the Mersey
dried on the black sand of Ferry Hut
gifted an accent both ancient and indelible
I am from Kingsway Secondary Schooled
to be the fodder of the factory
for a mechanical age slipping into history
I stopped at that point because I felt after the second stanza I'd left where I had grown, moved to the other end of the country and did different things. Does it work as a poem? I hope it makes people look up what Ferry Hut is...
A short poem next that was prompted by my watch being fast.
then I realised my watch was fast
and I had ten minutes of my life to spend again
I was no wiser the second time
It is what it is. Would any of us make better choices? I think the path we take is the path that we need to take, but there again my life has been easy.
Pollyanna has a new single out Man Time.
Until next time.
