No-One Left

I miss the things that went before
Like journalism, and the law
That kept me safe, informed, and free
No-one left to speak for me

Piercingly poignant write, you have packed a punch in few discrete words. Well done. An absolute 7

Thank you very much. The last line is from 'First They Came', which to my mind is one of the most important poems ever written.
