IF EVER I HAD A COUNTRY : LXVI
LXVI
IF ever I had even a third-rate useless country
And if ever I were say by wishful thinking put in-charge of the Propaganda Ministry
I would campaign to enthrone a Law as an inalienable right of every citizen or migrant
To publicly proclaim and denounce by any means at his disposal if he had incontrovertible
……..evidence on any culprit
Who was the author of some tort or crime - without having to pay some lawyer - against ……..himself or some other knitwit
And have this Law enshrined into the Constitution large and loud writ
That is, if ever through even wishful thinking I were the Propaganda Secretary
And even if I never ever had no third-rate useless country

I think today
i broke a word
in my ignorance
i did the deed!
Within my garden
i stabbed with spade
upon a letter in damp spoil
lay the bee! in my haste
i slay-She! and shouted
in thunder: "
Oh!
It cannot BEE!"
