Is not dead
Just sleeping unencoded
Like a bomb unexploded

So why do they leave our lives so empty

Philadelphus creates the illusion
Of orange blossom in lush profusion

Has always been a friendly foe
A midwife of our life and breath
But now an undertaker of our death

To claim pavements for pedestrians?

These law breakers in our midst

Whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer

Or by our own creativity end them

Even if it leads to genocide.

The noble art of losing face

What else will save the human race?

[Twoems @Twoems]

Do we really believe that the world’s first madam
made the initial move in seducing Adam.
Surely more sound, the other way round

Aging gracefully

Of what’s to come we know nothing at all/
And what’s behind we can’t recall

What makes me proud to be British - without glossing
Is the NHS, the BBC and the Zebra Crossing
