no harm as styes stay

no harm as styes stay


duly born of noblesse oblige

puerperal psychoses do abound

around memorable poppy days


forgetting to remember

i am ostracised in

the vegetable aisle

of this sceptred isle

that once fought colonial wars


british heroes ?

my grandpa told my dad

no bloody way ! he emphasised 

you keep your head down son

and so that lie died


parading up and down

on no harm as styes stay

with their medals

they are as happy as pigs in shit

what is it the poet did once deride


‘dulce et decorum est pro patria mori’


who you looking at !!
