What's with the moaning,
it's hardly been two weeks
and people are cracking up.

Four times in the past eight
years I made a pilgrimage
to the Ecuadorian Embassy
in London to see Assange.

Once, he caught a glimpse
of me from his confinement
and on it goes without any
sign of it reaching conclusion.

Give a moments thought now
for those in Gaza and Palestine
where lockdown is hereditary.
