conference pears
falling unripened to the ground
high winds

childhood idols
turn out to be paedophiles:
TV personalities and politicians
are less beloved with their private lives exposed.
We laugh, now, about the cruelty
inflicted by our teachers
with their canes and rubber pipes
but all that was nothing
compared to today's "Moral Right"
who subjugate children
to the rigours of New Fascism
in the name of a dead king.
