Division's Re-Vision Through

Southgate and Sterling discourse on the disturbing. Alarming' The focus of classes through
Which much chattering passes, in meme graph and drama a gasp'orama of division's incision draconian Intrusion, reality never meeting; insanity tries our reason, as all seasons grow evil.'

Three meters apart, we survey the heart to heart, Sterling is speaking of racisms seeping
In establishments 'a steeping.' Against the grade he'd kept keeping moving in reason
Playing believing, although at times seething he'd still kept on keeping, right in his sights'

Southgate spoke fairly of efforts and aims, of soul searching to gain, for the betterment
Waiting not to get lost in the making, in the race to a summit not to jeopardise something
A reaching of reason, he expounded his thesis I believe he is open from what he has spoken

He and many knee taking, their sign to humanity with its fractures and vanity's in the making
Yet apartheid was there  breathing it's death stench, I felt my inside almost up-retch  invisible
Walling from floor up to ceiling 3 meters from reason; from the spirit of Christ's season

The farce of pandemic with dystopian rhetoric, was adhered to in action complying with
Coercion while denying its perversion, living out an in-version blind were the sighted
Yet puppet masters so delighted, set the scene and invited this righteous pair; so united

The validation of  division apartheid in Britain! an acceptable evil; is this truly liveable?
Imagination un-holy in the scenes now bestowed me I saw the spectre of evil
Strutting in between them, breathing their words in,  and spitting out silent signs'
Pseudo derived 'lateral inanity' our salvation? And To embrace such insanity?

Thank you for sharing your poetry with us, Joe. It seems the governments of so many countries are completely out of control. Money seems to be used for the accumulation of power instead of for helping those in need. Too many people are using their influence and sticking their heads into other peoples and countries business. A poet friend, Bill P.S. I'm following your poetry now.

Love the rhyme and the rhythm. Like Andrea I didn't get much of the detail, I have now read your comment to Andrea so am better informed. Here the problem with soccer has been homophobic attacks on a player. Isn't it time we all grew up? Oh and now with governments trying to move COVID out of the spot light, their talk seems to be moving to war with Russia, and China. Oh and the dog's moved from the couch to the beanbag, I think that makes it mine again. Good to talk mate.

It is very strange times we live in, Joe. and I remember you were calling all this out years ago in your poetry. I don't understand all the references you have made here but I get the gist of this. You have a valiant heart and soul.
