Another spoke of nature's annual wheel

brings Mabon, the feast of autumn solstice

when day and night are equal length. Appeal

to Elder Gods and thank the harvest ones. Dismiss

regret for summer gone once more and plan

to lay in stores for winter's dark and cold

'tis time to welcome death and gather what you can

and greet the winter's birth with faces bold.

On England's bloody shores the migrants die

with fascist calls to send all non-whites home

while right wind flags from every lamp post fly

the councils quietly revoke the right to roam.

 And as the Wheel of History turns once more

 America binds English men to 1930's lore.
