My home town,has moved on from City that was at center of the revolution.
One that wanted to change leadership of our country,while exporting Arms to country we was at war with.
Political power and economy, traditional industry like Whaling,trade across the seas.
Fighting to end slave trade.
Badly bombed during World war.
blitzed by enemies, people's life's destroyed. Homes never rebuilt.
Hope never reignited.
No cathedral,no spiritual direction,no horizon. Emptiness in it present state.
Void that's remaining as second millennium envelopes my Old Town.
I stand outsider,detached, disconnected,
In grief and sorrow.
