farewell to the pm

in the House of Lords

we watched you hold court past the point of despair

your ministers deserting their posts 

the podium propping you up like a stand

falling on your sword between general elections

 night falls. the people cannot save you 

somewhere in Kyiv Zelensky picks up a burner 

to offer kind words and

help you rest      #katyamills

faith alone

when mala fide
in cloaks of red
extinguish the light

the allies on bona fide they

vanish from sight

hands clasped in prayer

soldiers young and old 

prepare  

the off beat
of broken hearts

when the shelling

starts

send ammunition!

for our freedom

we will fight

sola fide is not enough
to make it through
the night

#katyamills
