Tick
"Listen!
I'm neither - not either!
"Not left, not right
Not black, not white
"Not red, not blue
Not the many, nor the few
"No, neither you
nor any other political tribe
will bribe my alliegence.
No one can expect
my adherence or compliant silence!
"I've no tribe but kin
and my kin can come in any skin
and will come and go again
this close to the rim.
"So, no -
I'll not promise to sing
from only one sheet of hymns.
I'll not sign up to this week's
with-the-tide swim.
"You can't assign me
based on a tick-box whim.
I'm no man's synonym.
I'm no easy pseudonym.
"My vote has never been
and never will be
ANYBODY'S easy win."
She stood at the door poised with her pen.
'Okaay... Is that an 'Undecided' then?'
Theres a lot of strong feelings out there.
