Canny Amah Poet I do not know?

viii: Solidarity Wednesday

Sir – darest V.C.,
We all heard the peals of the bells:
The V.C.’s vergers made the call,
From the huge peel of their vicar –

Sir – V.C.,
The V.C. spoke for solace,
To the gathered restive mob –
The speech went to the birds, not men!

Sir –
The representors began the song:
“Lions are waiting,
Waiting for action!”

Sir –
We saw some representors waving
And speaking for a solace;
Then, a renowned pundit spoke to no avail.

O! stones spokes from hands
Those raw speeches of angry hearts –
Ah! The vicar and his high men,
Even, representors fled a while the rostrum;

Then, came the vicar’s white-paper;
But, in anger a representor tore the paper!
Thus ended a summoned for peace;
More flames wandered as Cain’s sacrifices.
