Such Rights Not Recognised

such rights not recognised

none at least decree or otherwise.

selections made at ramdom

through the collar of the mad march hare

buttoned like a turnip

in the image of the great one's self-belief.

crossed staves themselves alone are not enough

to break the fall of prehistoric art.

a thimble-full of dry whit

from the safe side of a brood

too many thousand times their cannons roared.

if only they had known you long enough

to stumble through the chest-high blades of grass

that cut the bitter-lemons of your mood.

the great heave-ho. the stem of middlemarch.

a woman scorned who dared no protocol.

all systems have their rules, so we are told.

one single fold of paper

flies the valley of a spine

where mother mary kisses all who sleep

and weeps the tears of middle-class reprieve.

the repression of such anger fuels the horn

restraint will bring no quality of life.
