Poem Title:
Poem
The Ancient Mariner of the parliament square Like the mariner he was, a scrawny, skin unfair A loner with a glittering eyes, possibly a bit touched A Clint Eastwood impersonator look, he seemed to bear But a powerful speaker than professional speakers. Urging world to live a more Christian life cleaner Lived and slept outside the parliament for a decade In his hand holding, with broad thrust, a loudhailer. Against Western groups killing thousands Iraqi people He fought and spoke for 3,600 days like an eagle. Of traffic, clock bangs and the hordes of visitors. When Haw at his mouthpiece, all the voices disabled Haw had a remarkably insistent, irritating voice And Mr. David Blunkett was irked and annoyed Reacting to 2005 organized crime And Police Act It was “using a maul to crack a nut” to destroy. The More Brian noise caused with his loudhailer The more MPS demanded to remove the bother But the word “Bother” sounded too weak Compared to warmongering by Blaire & B-liars. With an Antipodean woman Haw shared war choirs With his trademark cries of “ Tony B-liar, Tony B.I.A.R” When another woman started up, public was grateful Sharp as seamstress’s needle was Sheila’ s crisp voice. Despite his Left-wing favor, he was a Right-wing figure A man, standing up to the state, never thought to disfigure Brian Haw had plenty more fuel for all his protests The war in Afghanistan and the war in Iraq to configure. When Milosevic was tried at the Hague for war crimes He said, “why not to try Blair and Bush’s Crimes?” Like Coleridge’s haunted mariner: long, lank & brown He had one vice: tobacco, he died of lung cancer prime. +++ March 12, 2014 Dr. Ram Mehta Form: Rubaiyat Contest: One Against Many by Joe Maverick
