I GET DISTRACTED (easily

forget you are in a different time zone-already in a new day
and you have already heard all those speeches
we are just getting exposed to.Revolution was a Beatles tune
and it had different endings-just like Russia ,China,Kampuchea
You want to believe in human nature-yet even that became a pop song
Every cliche has been expropriated.Every song a bandwidth and wagon.
In Frontierland,one can pretend the West goes on forever
You remember Chenobyl,acid rain,Sellafield
and must live among ruins of past invasions.
I can only visit .Grit tough and dirt poor,
you withdraw from debate when speeches
are replaced by muskets and bayonets
Bodies of miners ,Luddittes,Fenians,Chartists,Socialists,Communists
Karl Marx wrote his Manifesto in your British Library
Trade Unions still march on May 1
here,we believe all can be changed by a NEW NEW
You have seen the olden fall in to decaying mansions
You still have a National Trust.
Blake's New Jerusalem vision survived Industrial Revolutions
Punk music now as passe as mohawks and chains
I get distracted easily.Remind me again
about the cyclic chains of tides of history..
