Trying to Sculpt One Handed. Yin & Yang.

I need two strong hands to shape a poem,

Shifting boulders of sound from rock face

To flat ground.

                         I need two strong brawny hands

That can build castles in firelight and air

That even the shrillest autumn storm

Cannot bludgeon down.

But now I can work with only one active hand,

The other hangs useless by my side

Like a shredded sail in December wind

Unable to hold power in its billowing folds

And drive the project forward.

I need two strong hands to shape a poem,

To shift boulders of sound from rock face to ground.

Wild Garden. Revised. (Photos and Poem).

My garden is crowded with bees - butterflies - moths.

I spray no insecticide, no weed killer; slaughter is not 

                                                                        my style. 

I just let the flowers grow where they have decided to 

                                                                               seed,

I do not plant them myself, they know best where to

                                                                 make a home.

I sometimes do a little weeding, some cautious cutting 

                                                                               back, 

But generally just leave well alone.

Provided my loganberries ripen I have little to worry 

                                                                            about. 

I can settle down in the alcove and read a book.

The Time For Change is Dawning..

My generation rejoiced when National Service was abolished.

Our new freedoms brought forth great things, 

The Beatles,

The Rolling Stones,

Hockney.

The World rejoiced,

But the Tories shook with fear,

We were the true progressives,

They were simply small beer.

Now they want to bring back captivity for the young,

Crush their natural creativity, enslave them to the state.

"A spell in the army will do you good my son,

Rejoice, you may be shot for king and country."

We danced in the streets for the opposite point of view.

Because we`re now old you expect us to vote true blue,

To have our revenge on the young for being young,

Keeping them in order,

Locking them out of the sun;

Crushing their high ideals because they are vivid and new,

Out dazzling the lies you spout to keep us under your thumb.

Sorry Mr. Sunak we cannot forget the joy

Of that wonderful flowering of freedom

When the dread of National Service was shoved into oblivion,

And instantly we were cured of an insidious cruel depression.

Sorry Mr. Sunak we must protect our children`s freedom.

Save them from the likes of you.

We made mistakes, Oh Boy did we make mistakes -

We dropped acid and danced `til the sky turned red;

Then traveled-four in a taxi-to the nearest floor or bed.

But just you think of the great art we created,

The poems-the paintings-the music-

The books you have never read

Because they might give you a spasm

And unlock the cells in your head.

Strange to think that you also are unfree.

So No I aint going to vote for you Mr. Sunak,

Its time to break loose from your Lunatic Asylum

Your septic Isle drained of love and compassion,

Your shadowy Isle of the Dead.

The key is in our intellects. -  The key to liberty.
