Abused, abandoned,

unloved, forgotten, unseen;

inconvenient.

Civil servant

.

An old tweed jacket

and trousers half-mast; wild hair,

eccentric manner.

Gove

 

Dishonourable

backstabbing narcissism;

an embarrassment.

 

by Scooj

 

Still angry and ashamed at the way British politics is playing out. See this haiku I wrote on the subject almost a year ago.

Change

 

Noah built his ark

when he saw the floods coming;

I’m in the boatyard.

 

by Scooj

Circumstance

Falling through the cracks

victims of austerity;

my head hangs in shame.

  • I sometimes struggle with the word victim, and the ‘victim culture’ that thrives during ‘shocks’ of all kinds. In this case I feel the word is valid.
