Far right thuggery is the way it begins,
But from whence does this activism come?
Late capitalism with all its sins;
‘Democracy’ tissue to wipe a bum.
…
When increasing concentration of wealth
Means inequality, lives unfulfilled,
Subsequent loss of societal health;
That love you write of, compassion, all killed.
…
By the way, immigration set to increase
Exponentially; climate change the key -
Prompting mass migration, little chance of peace;
Enforced movement won't let people be.

Dave, I appreciate how you follow the thread backward. You’re not disputing the warning, obviously, you’re asking where it comes from and what feeds it. The way you tie wealth concentration, hollowed-out democracy, and climate-driven displacement together feels grounded and necessary. This adds much depth to the conversation, my friend. Well done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Dave I sense a little discontent in this poem, the same discontent that I have had over the last thirty of more years and has now grown into a general dislike of any political system, party or philosophy. I have come to believe inherent greed, violence and dishonesty in man makes a fair system impossible. Just call me jaded. A good write
