Where Do We Go
This Time
after Culloden
everything went to hell
the big boys didn't want anything untidy
such as people
cluttering up their lucrative grazing lands
down in the
glens
crofters
alone
abandoned
while the chieftains of the clans
seduced by the siren song
of money
sold them out
cleared them out
it's one of the reasons there are so many Scots in
New Zealand
Australia
Canada
aye
it's happening
again
our elected chieftains are selling us out to the
money-junkies
who bought up our governments when we weren't
looking
we forgot to keep
our ear to the ground
