2 JULY FROM HERE AND THERE IN SEARCH OF HARMONY

‘I HEREBY DECLARE’     

THE ACTIVIST’S ANNOUNCEMENT SOUNDS PRETENTIOUS 

HE’S ONLY SAYING HE’LL DESIST FROM DEMOSISTO  

BUT THE REPRESSION OF HONG KONG IS MOMENTOUS  

CONTINUING TO RESIST AS BEST HE CAN    

IF HIS LANGUAGE IS TOO GRAND 

SO WHAT?

LET HIM SPEAK  ON THE SAME SCALE AS CHINA’S ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY 

CONDITIONS IN LEICESTER’S GARMENT FACTORIES

WOULD MAKE YOU WEEP   

£3 AN HOUR   

WINDOWS BOARDED UP WHILE WORK CARRIES ON INSIDE   

TOLD TO COME IN  EVEN WHEN TESTED POSITIVE   

WHO’S THE BIGGEST CLIENT OF LEICESTER’S CLOTHING COMPANIES?  

BOOHOO   

BROOKLYN’S BARBERS ARE BACK YIPPEE!

OLD MEN SEEMED OLDER WITHOUT A HAIRCUT

YOUNG MEN LOOKED EVEN YOUNGER THAT WAY   

SO IS THERE A PERFECT AGE OF MAN  WHICH EVERYONE (AND THEIR HAIRCUT) TENDS TOWARDS?

WISHING FOR GREATER HARMONY  IN THE WORLD  AND I DON’T MEAN HAIRSPRAY    

YOURS TRULY
