n.b. No end in sight of this bloody, pointless war. Three hundred days.

CLP 20/12/2022

on Ukraine

rockets from Russia
decimate generations
return to Stone Age

~

n.b. Unspeakable.

CLP 16/12/2022

on Iran

four thousand life years
imprisonment for protests
woman, life, freedom

~

n.b. The tyranny under the theocracy tightens. 400 protestors x 10 years each for daring to question the validity of Iran’s legislature.

Executions are also being carried out.

CLP 13/12/2022

on Ukraine

bombs dropped, rockets fired
yes, you did! no, we didn't!
truth walking wounded

~

n.b. Day 292. Add truth to the list of missing.

CLP 12/12/2022

on Ukraine

lines to Moscow crossed
people play Chinese whispers
because the truth hurts

~

n.b. Who dare tell the naked emperor the bad news, or indeed, the truth (pravda)?

CLP 04/12/2022

in time

concrete, glass and steel
put up lights, tie off with bow
still steel, glass, concrete

~

n.b. People raising glasses to Christmas on 2nd December, leaving just eleven months of the year festive free. This is in a country where a minority (46%) now identify themselves as Christian.

I don’t see or hear this much propaganda about any other belief system, other than Free Market ideology, obviously.

on time

callers would call by
she wanted no ties
a younger man would love her
then think she was his

you can call by, she'd say
whenever you want
but I only have callers
no one owns me

then she met him
with his travelling guitar
his once fair long hair
had long since gone grey

the twinkle he carried
in his guitar case
attracted young women
no strings attached

the two of them met
she said something clicked
she, a bar woman
he, guitar man

callers went packing
young women sent back
these two had four years
before slowly he died

four years of true loving
was what they had
the love of her life
she was grateful for that

~

n.b. Everyone has a story. I heard this one recently. Deeply moved by it, I was.

CLP 01/12/2022

on time

She knows what she wants
She's learning how to get it

It's not his job to tell her
Not his job to show her

If he does, what will he learn?
What will he lose?

~

CLP 30/11/2022

on time

somehow we'll find words
spoken or written to say
what has been hidden

~

n.b. It just takes time to get the language right. Non?

CLP 10/11/2022

on Iran

young people have lost
fear of authority's fist
new freedom riders

~

n.b. During my recent travels in the US I saw a statue of a woman sitting calmly. I saw the image repeatedly: in the Capitol in Washington DC; in Memphis TN; in Birmingham AL.

The woman was Rosa Parks. Her determined protest, to sit where she wanted to on a bus, regardless of the state law at that time that segregated people by skin coloration, fired up people tired of being oppressed, tired of being downtrodden. Her sitting down was a signal to others to stand up to inhuman authority.

In Iran, the people most oppressed by the theocracy, women, particularly young women, are tired of giving in too.
