THATCHER'S AUTUMN


Harvest fields aflame
burn
black scars of bigotry
in these greed and peasant lands.


Youth across the pages run,

angry cries rent the air,

petrol bombs are in their hands.


Trapped in spiral despair

our wasted cities turn,

riot, and ignite a TV scream.


Now through high mist wanly

a huge and bloody sun

sets like her puritan dream.


1982
