When they talked of Brussels
It fell on deaf ears
Just come home
Every fortnight
Was the cry so dear

When the talked of Hamburg
The English town
Just come home
Once a month
Was the cry renown

When the talked of the South of France
Where I could retire
Apartment in Mouchen
Alps to my left side
Come back now was the cry so dear

Filling out the forms
For unemployment money
For housing benefit
And what words
Can I say to those
Who backed me and supported me

I like to sit unemployed
On the state
Tied to the state
Governed by the state

And people who were prepared to back me

Enjoy life

Whilst I wait

For a handout
Until I sell
And wont end the mistake

You have such a striking, unusual point of view....I like that in a poem, and in a poet.

Centered in yourself, in harmony with your higher self, I would say, you bring forth clarity of thought, expressed with true power.

Love, Margherita
