The value of my name


The value of my name
is slipping by the by.
I have no reason to lie
as those selfish so and so’s
are lining their pockets with gold
and I have no way of being part of their graft
as my name no longer bears that brand
where human existence gave a fellow life traveller
a reasonable chance to share
upon this once so honourable land.

Take away a humanity’s care
for their fellow compatriots
on this golden space in time,
next you are at war
or violence on your own small isle home shores.
