LORD PROTECTOR, PROTECT US AGAIN.

Still spring water
Has surfaced;
Memories well thought of
On purpose.
Open mouthed chewing
Provoking
The old fellows brewing
And smoking.

Violent night sweat
Is produced
Whilst trying to forget
The bad news
Of freshly contrived
Bill amendments
Affecting our wives
And dependents.

Closed circuit boxes
In season,
Like pheasants or foxes
Or treason;
Convinced of arriving
One evening
To find nothing living
Just breathing.

Brought up by versions
Of custom,
Disclaimed by a person
Who crushed them,
To build on the waste
Of appeasement
And create a fit place
For our freedom.
