new year fireworks blaze
over families packed in city streets
but every glowing cloud conceals
new bloody shrouds
and tank shells

happy 75th
they said
but out of sight
and all common sense
your well dressed beneficiaries
are discussing only this:

how to make themselves
and their cronies rich
from your never empty beds

thank you nhs?

how about
the necessary funds
instead

between your sullied cheeks
should we applaud
your citizens of rank
demeanour
or draw them through the streets
to lesser quarters

that broken ring
below your leftward eye
where Gateway fell

that sunrise tear
from blood and metal torn
will never dry

and when our burning clouds
will ease
no one can tell

nor if our careless hands
can heal
this shattered sky
