Retrospection a poem by Iam

Created by Michelle 2 years ago
retrospection
 
looking back from my late twenties
over 40 plus year'
I certainly rang changes
thro' numerous and varied gears
 
refused to pay ANY taxes
because of THE BOMB
13 year' this anti tax palaver
dragged on... and on... and on
 
Anxious to I.D. and de-mystify
the State's widespread
and myriad machinations
as best I could I wrote
"THE WAR AGAINST CRIME"
... University invitations.
 
Angry Brigade Defence Campaigns
Innocent George Davis WAS bloody freed
brilliant "Up Against the Law
RELEASE and PEOPLES NEWS SERVICE,
WILDCAT 'n' INSIDE STORY
and then there was more.
 
LIFE SENTENCE IMPRISONMENT,
the British Museum reading room
and so some history too
Chartist era THE PLUG PLOT 
Feargus O'Conner
and very many others (oh yes)-
its political its 1842     
 
Greenwich Council "COMMUNITY AFFAIRS"
"Police Accountabilty"
"WHEN DO WE WANT IT? NOW!"
an initiative that certainly challenged
til ascendent shit-houses Thatcher Blair 
a very sacred cow.
 
"OPERATION CENTURY" Special Branch "TERRORISTS"
on their disgusting illegal undercover plot
looking back looking back
there certainly has been
quite a labyrinthine lot!!
