Johnson and drones,
Johnson and drones,
Is the UK overcome
By Johnson and drones?
Is political opportunism
To him more important
As he plays the heir apparent?
Is our economy a tributary
To his own ambition
Does he stand by his decision
As more than a play for popularity?
He treats our neighbours with derision
Blaming them for gross disparity
Whilst widening cracks of division,
Truth, it seems, is used with frugality,
Employed only under certain conditions;
Seen as secondary to telling a story,
Johnson and drones, Johnson and drones,
When others regard this century,
Evaluating what we’ve become,
Your name may be unknown
But these actions ripple eternally
As descendants ask what we have done.

Word-weaver and artist. I'm Co-founder of Nott Normal; a Nottinghamshire based independent accessible, adaptive and gently provocative arts collaboration. Resident story-weaver for set of virtual Cottage in the Woods courses by Yelala from late autumn 2020, early Spring 2021. My writing and art have recently been part of Poems on Prescription, the National Museum of Justice's (UK) acclaimed Letters of Restraint, and The National Holocaust Memorial Centre's (UK) What is Testimony? Art and written work has appeared in various independent publications including LeftLion, Miknaf Haaretz, and Proliterat. I'm a warrior of various disabilities and chronic illnesses with an MA in Human Security (Peace and Human Development). I've worked in creative conflict resolution, sustainability & interfaith work. I stood for parliament (& local gov) in 2015, getting 9.9%, in the top 20 national results for the party. I've since left politics unless you count negotiating between three cats and a laptop. I love animals, my favourite humans, wild landscapes, accessible cities and the sea.
