On Autumn III

 

Moon throws down silver

Dancing trees undress to please

Naked for Winter.

To Daybreak

Sun breaches horizon

Penetrating darkest corners

Minds open to light.

CLP. 19/09/2018

On Lincoln

Bells hung high resound

Steps echo on Steep Hill stone

Hearts near fit to burst.

CLP 18/09/18

On Morning

Day breaks open hearts

Light falling on night’s victims

Dreams are lost to sleep.

CLP 17/09/2018

On Daybreak

First glints in grey sky

Unveil frosted roof and pane

Darkness concedes dawn

CLP 10/09/2018

On Autumn

Dry leaves falling

Silently on sunlit church

Tears cleanse the path home.

On Autumn II

Dry linden leaves fall

Silently on sunlit church

Tears cleanse the path home.

Road to Nowhere

Just having a vote every few years in what is in effect an elected dictatorship does not constitute a democracy. The voices of the people are actually closed in behind a two party arrangement where those with power offer limited opportunities for people to take part in the running of the country.

In the following article written by George Monbiot you get a flavour of the modern UK and an understanding of how this country is actually managed.
