Mocking 'J' Refrains

[Transitional Times Poem Collection] -
Sometimes it’s easy to overlook the pain that we have experienced or helped create. This poem alludes to recent global experiences … as a gentle reminder … in the aspiration that we will not repeat such behaviours or attempts by ‘questionable forces’ to create such divisions again.

Poem Wording:-

Mocking 'J' Refrains

As yes. I remember it well …
The constant refrains,
frying hearts and brains!
It was use as a tool –
A ‘death to freedom knell’.

Do you remember it too?!
I remember ….
There was a right ‘to do’!

“You’re not”?
“What do you mean”?
“You’re not invited so … can’t be seen”!
“A danger to society” …
They were … the great new unclean?!

What was the story for you?
And how did you lean?

Were you excluded; denied access to family,
Old friends, your job, travel, days out and meals?

Or did you too, these ideas condone?
To sit on the side-lines, either disillusioned
or even perhaps supercilious and pleased?!

If so – time to go on and atone.
We all remember it well!!

Were you one of the ‘pushers’
Or just a sleepy so called ‘sheepy’.
Living by rote and yet happy to gloat?
Instead of a vibrant and self-empowered,
Sovereign like, mountain goat?!!

Unless …. Maybe yes ….
Did you have some grain
of compassion and reason?
If no, time to go and confess –
it’s now “At-one-ment” season!!

Louise.
