And yet once more
the rain will fall…
and names on lists we will
recall.
Misguided man…so driven by hate
dictated
innocent people’s fate.
The lives of so many
fallen now.
Victims once more.
They’re not the ones
they really want
but they even out
the bloody score—
It never stops.
It never will
until we realise.
We’re played for fools
we’re victims all.
For we are just
Government tools!!!

The sun didn’t show its face today
Grey clouds scudded across the sky
As the wind got up and brought rain
These things I observed with a sigh.
Summer seems so reluctant to show itself
In some ways reflecting the country’s mood
Yet sometimes just the tiniest bit of sun
Can pick up the spirits, for sunshine is food.
That big event looms Thursday next
It has caused such murderous pains
To stay or go, the question vexed
Whatever will come, still heartache remains.
How can our world be so full of revile
That one would snuff the opposing view
Are we still that close to such savagery
I wonder sometimes, as surely you do.
Opinions will vary on so many things
That is why we have such debate
Those elected may now need protection
Against the brute force that’s so full of hate.

A very small tribute to a courageous woman, Jo Cox MP, who represented us, the people.
We therefore, were also attacked, as was democracy.
the acid just burns away at your guts
it is the commonest feature of bile
it grabs at the chest and causes such pain
from carrying the hatred all that while.
it was carried about for so many years
and it tore at the heart feelings too
leaving a husk that was almost burnt out
and inside that husk – there is you.
such bitter thoughts have followed you
and anger at what they had done
so now you’ve returned for what purpose
– to finish what they had begun?
they thought they’d done right, they were wrong
they exiled you once – and will again
for the genes that run right through your bloodline
make you different to all other men.
try forgiveness – they’ve ignorance on their side
but you’re an intellect with no such excuse
one man turned his face against such menace once
and showed courage in the face of abuse.
let go of the anger that’s within you
or ignorance will win – yet again
for it will always fall to the wisest
to stand up to malevolent men.
