This work is not an ideological work of any kind left, right or centre.

It is based on the notion of human decency which one might expect from a rational person.

A suite of slanted squares with four lines in each.

To the power of ten as ten squares with four lines in each.

I choose slanted squares as metaphor for my own slant

Each sip dream treat makes time drift slow class tea swill luscious full marks fair trade Reward rich harvests from farm land crews as they sweat and toil fair share just measure ? Earnest team labour they endure so much in plants and yards fair play to prowess Low income groups at home and abroad who barely exist say please give to them The stoic bear burdens in each social walk pain afflicts everyone be fair and inclusive Tune into deep pain sharp cries for bounty that touch heartstrings fairness always at stake Across the human race an inner cross rumbles like a dormant virus plot extend that fine hand Care Bears low status yet these saints pass background alms n aid to usher urgent fairness Whilst going about a daily routine perforce one must listen, care help, give freely too Of all the things duty bound a slant your gift of time itself a true trait
