Wagon wheels wax & wain in a fire lit turn,
rolling to a wooden stop,
snorting tired horse heads toss,
blackthorn pyre in their pupils dance,
where shadows play on barrel tops,
busy feet and faces,
a bustling smile,
concentration’s furrowed brow,
no wrinkles where a path of life is etched in expression,
crow’s feet perch either side of each eye,
gazing at ancient memories,
Woden’s Dyke Ash bristling Algiz silhouettes,
a raven raised to Saxon king that fell,
where a thousand of his children’s roots still drink,
chalky Chiltern water washed;
with generations of blood in the soil…

Has the politician wandered where the Romany roamed,
the Saxon strode, or the Northmen rowed,
have the corporate’s drifted the ancient Thames,
Old Icknield Way through Ridgeway’s lens,
have the bankers farmed for a thousand years,
generational, blood, sweat and tears,
have the concrete dwellers,
thought of the Country’s toil,
have you ever even considered;
our blood within the soil…

Academic shaman watching,
perspective perfection’s cracked diamond,
gold at the end of a rainbow’s ending showered the Sun,
visions painted of centuries procession,
of an England hard won,
then for power & greed just gone,
sold for the sums of sycophant success,
proud history’s warped for political spittoons,
ancestors traded for big screen buffoons,
media twisted mob ruled loons,
here again this sacred land to spoil,
forgetting the ancient Holy depths;
of our blood within the soil…
