o run to catch the last plane out of here copyright david hopcroft august 2021 categories abuse adult children conflict education freedom human rights poems poet poetess poetry politics refugee war welfare writer permalink august 19 2021 by davidjhopcroft leave a comment beyond the edge passing through beyond the edge passing through there were whispers in the trees but were they true words floating across from leaf to leaf murmurs that drew fear a forest concealing secret anger as the rumours grew with each hour that passed the message becoming clear roots underground vibrating to marching feet the forest telegraph signals defeat the fear is picking up the beat hearts pounding down every street fragmented news that preys heavily upon the mind like flotsam and jetsam being washed up on shores armed men passing between trees as the forest becomes a blind looting of villages as tyranny shows its claws whispers getting louder pierce the air villagers collecting rumour that they share young girls listening become aware the wolf has been released from his lair like a snake in the grass a deadly presence to be revealed the head rears up in preparation for the strike rape and pillage in the venom that was concealed fear marching on as the screams pierce the night the first refugees arrive terrified and confused stories of women and girls who have been abused men and boys with beaten limbs heavily bruised by a freedom fighter who thinks his behaviour should be excused they bring talk of burning homes of mutilation and of killing bringing starving children with hollowed cheeks and eyes skin hangs on bones and there are hungry mouths that need filling wounds to be dressed before pathogen infection from flies our hospital is crowded and overflowing every hour the need for treatment growing whilst the storm of conflict now is blowing through the village where blood of innocents is flowing the sound of gunfire and mortars landing fills the air those who are able flee seeking shelter where they can still our duty demands we stay and care we serve humanity and that has no exit plan working on as the carnage takes place outside hands cannot tremble though the mind is terrified the needs of others keep us occupied we are the collaborators who cannot hide we feel the heat from burning huts the cries of agony the guns fall silent the smell of smoke drifts through the door the marauder moves on with the grim reaper as company a rifle is his god and the bullet is his whore i bury the dead in my dreams that disturb my sleep i see survivors standing over bodies as they weep shiver then sweat at the sound of the armoured jeep so i lie awake in fear of the nightmares that i keep copyright david hopcroft august 2021 categories abuse adult care conflict

on the edge futures must be more than dreams she is just another lively smiling afghan child player with a soccer ball that her mother bought for her she s a striker for the village team and drives them wild as the ball flies past the goalie in a blur he is just another bubbling and enthusiastic afghan kid with magic in his hands as he turns a cricket ball skills he has developed that nobody should rid let him entertain the world do not confine him with a wall she is just the singing dancing afghan teenage queen her lyrics bringing cheer to all around the world let us give her the chance to live out her greatest dream do not let the talent and potential of her years be furled they spent their early years in study at the school we built to secure a future for those that follow with a different wealth we encouraged equal opportunity and yet we leave with guilt abandoning the promise of democracy to ill health with promises in one hand but corruption in the other could these young people who have never known sharia law like so many in the past be condemned to suffer watching foreigners on the last plane out shut the door there are still pictures on the schoolroom walls that promised choice empty now as they fade and the walls of hope might crumble there is nothing but the dimness of the echo that once was voice they skipped and sang along the roads where the armour now will rumble what of those that we have failed do we think of their fate what was the purpose building a military without democracy where corruption was allowed to flourish in a failed state now we run away with our excuses bathed in hypocrisy copyright david hopcroft august 2021 categories abuse adult care childhood children conflict democracy freedom happiness human rights justice law poems poet poetess poetry politics war welfare writer permalink august 12 2021 by davidjhopcroft leave a comment forever war forever war there was no surprise for she had seen war before the saviour defeats the oppressor and some feel hope then the cycle begins again with the rot at the core as the people try to claw their way up the slippery slope sometimes the saviour would arrive from a distant land with promises of freedom and a road to democracy yet a victory meant only a shifting of the sand likes dunes refashioned by the daily tides of sea she had watched as generations listened eagerly to the lies answering the call that promised peace beyond the door fathers sons and grandsons all responded to the cries now they lie beneath the earth in this forever war why did so many take arms and march to an early grave for war lords and fanatics who cared only to be in power why shoot your countryman when there is democracy to save fresh promises will swiftly become the wilted flower the addiction of corruption still lingers as the enemy fire consuming peace and this might be for evermore doves shackled by arms dealers are caged and cannot be free what will it really take to end this forever

high street demolition high street demolition the tudor house beside the shiny cobbled alley where some say the growling granny dwelled and teenage boys shared a kiss and more with sally secrets that the mind has closely held a high street running through a golden valley where it seemed the church bells never knelled a victorian cottage hospital where old folks lay with dreams and memories that intertwined thoughts that precede the bed of cold red clay before the town hall a proposal once declined is accepted as colour emerges from grey these last images will not be unkind the greengrocer outside his doors shows his fruit pears apples plums and berries of every name the haberdashery displays a pin striped suit a barbers pole hangs out in lovers lane pheasants from butcher s awnings droop banks with georgian faces their pride proclaim it s time for the modern era came the cry as they tore out the front of heather s bakery now neon lights illuminate a liquor store the ironmonger s shop was doomed to die a bookmaker s sign offered no mystery the town hall clock would chime no more the clamour for change was still not done new stores appeared with accessories for mobile phones the cobbled market square resurfaced for a new car park harry s butcher shop became a slot machine arcade for fun the hospital dismantled for its well dressed stones vaping stores appeared but the brighter future now looked dark as the once attractive character began to fade away superstores were built outside the once proud town those who could afford to decided not to prolong their stay dereliction set in as each old home was pulled down a bingo hall once a chapel crumbled into decay a cluster of thrift shops formed a faded gown plan for a better future the architect now cried this town should now be nothing but history bring in the bulldozers to tear up the countryside perhaps beneath the dust and debris something else had died beneath new tarmac ghosts still might hold the mystery and should i view another motorway with pride copyright david hopcroft august 2021 categories abuse care conflict environment health history industrial poems poet poetess poetry politics welfare writer permalink august 2 2021 by davidjhopcroft 3 comments seeking silence seeking silence standing on a street corner waiting to cross jostled and pushed by those who have come to believe there has been no loss for whom time already speeds by too fast as each day they take their chance with life knowing only that their moments will not last horns blare head spins hammers pounding upon my brain sirens shriek out a message beware we need to pass this journey must not be in vain the rattling of wheels as they pass along the iron rails the doppler effect of a jet passing overhead on its path to touchdown drowned out when a woman hails for a passing taxi all the time a background rumble mixing the grumbling of congested traffic with the chitter chatter of my fellow beings how then do i try and meditate gather my thoughts for the day wishing really that i could find some silence far away an escape perchance to another shore now along the forest track that is far overgrown i push through the brambles and the fern a false darkness of a canopy high above the promise of the clearing lies ahead where the mind can drift and other thought be fed upon the heather where i have a sense of half asleep eyes closed helping to focus the mind can i find the silence that i seek yet even here a world is filled with sound above beneath and within the ground the melody of a bird singing to attract a mate the bubbling of a spring to start a stream i am startled by the cracking of a twig my ear slowly is attuned listening to the whisper of a centipede beneath decaying leaves the crash of a dead tree falling startles me yet in my thought this is the the land where i can reconnect the mystery of a message understood copyright david hopcroft august 2021 categories care climate
