The power of your anger, Steve. It's not easy to react so quickly and so eloquently to what has just happened. Thank you for voicing the feelings of so many. Just not enough.

You're right about Al Gore, Stephen. Also a champion of the issue of global warming.
But I needed the rhyme!
And thanks for the Likes, Tom and Tobani.

Splendid stuff, John. I think you've nailed it, as he probably will (literally).
Perhaps a wee bit unfair on Al Gore, though, who, it's now pretty clear, actually won the 2000 election.

Seen the film, read the book, worn the T-shirt-now at seventy eight, I'm wondering when ' they'll come to 'bin bag' and barbeque me and/or the missus-😃 (El cheapo quick cremation deal-and no relatives crocodile tears haha )
Wonder if the men in black will give us a discount if we pop on the same day-well, it would save on bin bags and give the grandkids more dosh for posher mobiles and vapes 😆
Great poem Ian!

Thank you for the explanation David. Fortunately I wasn't a million miles away from what your poem was actually about.
I'll just go out and say good morning to my garden gnomes and gate posts stone lions. 😀

That’s kind of you to say Ruth, thank you so much. I absolutely loved the day, it has definitely inspired me to write more - if it had a similar impact on some of the children, that would be fantastic! 😊

Hi Tom, thanks for your reading and comment.
I hadn't really thought about the poem in terms of aspirations. I was leaning more toward bad taste, although I see how that ties in with your thinking.
Of course bad taste knows no social / class boundaries.
The desire to project ones perception of material wealth seems a basic human instinct in these shallow days.

“…language that can take people out of comfort zones…”?
For that, read: “Incitement to racial hatred”.
MC, I've no time for dogs that bark because they’re mad, still less, for those with rabies.

In the interest of debate, it seems to me that a point of view
can take precedence in certain matters, not least in an
historical context. Interpretation and circumstance come into play and affect the outlook. Yaxley-Lennon is a contentious figure in contentious times but there have been others
before him who have used methods and language that can
take people out of comfort zones and yet time can also alter perceptions.
Law-breakers can become the ground-breakers of later times.
We should know that much by now and it remains to be seen
what history makes of this individual in the context of these
controversial times when trust in the established political
and legal machinery is at an all-time low- with some reason
on the evidence. We should be aware - or let us beware!
We may not have much time for a dog that bites but we'd be foolish to ignore the reasons that encourage it to do so.

Correct me if I'm wrong David but I think it is safe to say that the ' keeping up with the Jones's bullshit ( which this piece comes over as to me ) due to the present financial climate is now dead in the water-thank f!- cheers muchly.

Reflecting on this and the young person you were when you wrote it, it might be interesting for you to write a piece reflecting upon how you feel now.
I read my teenage poems occasionally and it's interesting to see my early thoughts and how they have changed and develop over time.
