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
