MAKING A START

Copyright Roger N. Taber 2007

Up to the ears in debt,
a broken romance,
redundancy notice on
the table obscuring
newspaper headlines
about war, famine, floods,
earthquakes...probably
down to climate change
but no ozone hole
to blame for street crime,
racism, homophobia,
beggars in shop doorways,
children running riot
in supermarkets because
parents afraid to say
no, stop, don’t, mustn’t,
or you’ll grow up with
precious few social skills
and even less hope
of getting parole halfway
into a life sentence

Must start to get real, nurture
for a better world
