DUMB INSOLENCE #23

      DUMB INSOLENCE #23

It's November 4th here in England,I wonder what day it is in the rest of the world?

Another national lockdown comes into force at midnight tonight.Mainly because the first one they attempted and began back in March failed.

Rather than attempt to recapitulate that which Peter Hitchens,Allison Pearson and others have articulated so well,I'll share my latest poem published at www.destinypoets.co.uk


The Future That Disappeared

In the darkest hour

they came for it,

bound and gagged it

put a hood over it;

it got in the car with them

they drove miles

along deserted country roads

and then they,

stopped..

bound,gagged and hooded

they manhandled it

out of the car,

marched it across

a field;

Somewhere in the distance

a church bell tolled;

they didn’t ask if it had

anything it wanted to say

before sentence was carried out..

A few minutes later the car departed,

and the field lay undisturbed once more,

now home to an unmarked grave..

You get the drift? Of course.
