Activism Poems
A Little List of Greetings
by James V Daniels
Merry Christmas one and all, a time for joy and cheer. So I made this little list of greetings, would you like to hear?
Merry Christmas Saudi, for you we bring new weapons. We hope you will enjoy them when you fire them on Yemen.
Merry Christmas EU, for you we bring an agreement (by the end of March). And if none, we'll extend the transition period, though we have no right to ask.
Merry Christmas Schools, for you we bring more funding. Though not quite as much as potholes, which, we thought you would find touching.
Merry Christmas MI5 for you we bring much data. But if nothing to hide you have nothing to fear, so tell THAT to all the haters.

Government Poem
by James V Daniels
But like, we don't even need a government, is all I'm saying.
If all a government does is deregulate the companies and take way our freedoms- then our priorities need straitening.
And sure, they put police on our streets and pay for our schools. But those police have two jobs and the schools have no cash, and my friends are on zero hours contracts, they can't wait for their money back.
So there's a little something for you all... To think about.
But that's not the problem, more like an overture.
You see, the problem is that folks like you and me rarely turn out to be:
Fruit pickers; warehouse workers; shop fitters; joiners; carpenters; scaffolders; solicitors- wait!
That last one- maybe.

kiss you again like hell.
My dear wife

Climate Activists
by Ian McCleary
When Climate Activists defaced Van Gogh paintings, I was wishing it were artists who were the masterminds behind it in protest of the Museums.
I was hoping that a group of enlightened artists would band together and take back the statues and artifacts of ancient antiquity
Sending them to their rightful owners. The poet
Byron would have fought to keep these World Treasures where they belonged.
The Elgin Marbles as they were called belonged to the Greeks and not to the British Empire.
This is what I would have preferred to have seen, then the fracas created by the disciples of Greta.
