Today, here and now.


Hunger rife,
racial disorder,
broken borders,
recession and recovery,
this is our country.

Our time to stand,
the social structure collapses,
the inconsistency of classes,
an intermission of politics,
a time of confinement,
plagued by surveillance.

Powers written in contract,
to no one deny or delay right or injustice,
a past history now relevant,
many fight for rectitude.

The chasm of separation,
the burden upon the poor,
taxed by the utilities of life,
a conflict of competition,
no rest bite from the labour market,
accumulation of indebtedness.

Previously opposing forces,
compelled together to form chaos,
public losing acceptance,
the enemy ever patient,
sudden escalation of popularity,
political unnerving the educated,
a future precipice.

Crowded by protection,
defending against the unjust,
saved by regulation,
supervised by another quango,
reassurance or restriction,
anonymous or exceptional?
