Plenty of "talk" of fiddled sums, MC. But as an ex bobby you'll appreciate the role of "evidence".
If it was on Twitter or Instagram or Facebook or Billy's Weekly Liar, Stephen, it must be true.

Many thanks for this Poem, which intelligently describes the horrors and the lack of tolerance and understanding still prevalent today to those who embrace their true identity.
As you say in your closing stanza, it wasn't all that long ago that this small home country we thankfully live quite safely in now would quite happily have persecuted, hunted down and imprisoned someone for being true to their selves.
Well done
Jon

I do think that also but people are obsessed with what happens after which is why ideologies and religions are so popular

Maybe that I am but one voice but it is one voice that thank's you for your protective service on our behalf.
Great poem Keith that I think doubtlessly comes
from the depths of your whole being.

Apparently, if he had won this time, the plan was for the inflatable to run again in 2024. This must be true, I read in on twitter, or facegram or something...

I hate to admit but your jokes are funny. They do make me smile. What do you mean by X when one is bigger than the other. Are you referring to my kisses that I type like this xxxx or this Xxxx or this X x, I have no idea what you are going on about. Have you gone a bit mad? Ps I already am mad as a wasp they say its official but I think I'm sane and it's everyone else who is mad. Ps do you think it will take a long time to get to Mexico do you think I should pack some cheese and pickle sandwiches with me. Ps send me a book of your poems then I can read them and pretend they are mine x thank you

Good "Stones" song - but I can't see this president "rolling over"!.
The MSM coverage is the primary source of our vision of Trump -
and that includes its barely disguised resentment of him as an
outsider to the status quo, exacerbated by his own attitude to the
MSM and its methods - with him taking to social media for his
various fusillades.
The political establishment and their media chums
Combined to rubbish Trump
Now there's talk of them "fiddling sums"
Via some night time Demosnatchit paper dump!
(It ain't over till the fat man slings his hook!)

A parable for how time can bring change for the better in our human
existence. It's as if we are all on some path to achieving enlightenment intended to bring eventual eternal happiness.

Thanks Paul, and I also had similar thoughts of whether it should be, "If," or, "When," so I'm really glad we seem to have gone through the same thought process. I decided on, "If," in the end because there are an awful lot of people for whom, "Conscience," never shows up. Really glad you liked it mate.

Maltreated everyone around
Heard he's been sued by his lady unlucky
