"And the Books stood Untouched "

  • 15 Apr, 2022

The books stood untouched, and the gates firmly barred.The future is still in hibernation,and the present is a hell in visibility.

A nation caught in the throes of anarchy let loose by vandals with a key to beat up unarmed men and women who jumped

off the stairs/with bruised faces. They were ready to take off their wings to their future but were assaulted by the mauradors of truth,crowching

tigers in wait. This's not the country we wish to live in, said someone,so disrupted and dishonored. Ruled by morons et al

(with an apology to Seamus Heany)
