Prophetic words sung of 'Maggie's Farm'. <br />Remembering the horror and harm. <br />Squandered production so undeserved. <br />Resilient stronghold was 'the word'. <br /> <br />Power to deny; self satisfied. <br />Blindness, mindless of those crucified. <br />Black of bleakest days when Miner's struck <br />rose, rallied and tossed coins in buckets <br />somewhere in the youth of '84 <br />never to work on her farm no more. <br /> <br />The King of the Scallies holding court <br />bravely spoke of her lack of support; <br />a pint, through laughter and all agreed: <br />Wholly ignored what work one might need <br />'To be dragged down the Mall by the hair' <br />said he; we thought that was pretty fair. <br /> <br />Prophetic words sung in 'Maggie's Farm'. <br />Evidence of her havoc, her harm. <br />Squandered generation; undeserved. <br />Resilient stronghold still 'the word'. <br /> <br />For Tony Evans <br /> <br />November 2005 <br />France.<br /><br />Gillian.E.
