Green and red a coloured dichotomy
Bonds of flowering fibrils
Indigenous, invited and online
Stranded in a sea of political division
Caressed by rivers of power
Anchored by community ageless spirits
Murals born and adorn
walled souls cracked, repaired or in despair
Painted Words, empirical symbols and smashed pottery
Cooling nuclear cores
Superfish, super-algae, superheads
Figots bridge the widening chasm
A crystal star lights the way to the other side
Eyed windmills defend the borders
Catalan tree of life in a chequered country

In lines of yellow and red flags
billow in the air of politics
Lives traced in graves cut into the fields of survival
In dance tip toeing through a crown of thorns
Linked hands held in defiance
Enlightened are today's troubadours of law
In language
In peace
In time
In the presence of truth

I said I didn't want to talk
so I ignored you
Too long
I said sorry
You said it's fine
Silence
Ups and downs is what we had
The fifteen days with you were nice
We are over it now
You give me balance
Yet your surroundings are in chaos
I am my own chaos
I think of you at times
Hoping that you are safe
In the turmoil of Catalonia

a tongue with cheek lampoon
that shout Barca, save
Barcelona when blazing jack (of spades)
into the net with goal of The King's Cup
if Estelada retort his court
these embattled cries of democracy in Spain
why land ** as Mariano Rajoy

an ostentatious wipe
this referendum is treed
while rather bolting a humanity
so Barcelona is superfluous and has encased
but once in Granda they'll enjoin a last bit circle
and to embroil grout in their tires
as a run within this emanation
on the plain to graze again
save Girona still crankiest in bluff

When demos loses kratia
our Greek fathers shake,
their heads in disapproval
unbelieving two millennia,
myriads of wars and corpses
abused, burned, bombed,
imprisoned and enslaved,
did not suffice to effectively mutate,
a thought into a fact.
Establishing governments supposed
to ensure our rights,
cater for the enhancement
of the quality of our lives,
irrespective of gender, ethnicity,
religion, ****** inclinations,
but most of all identity,
personal fundamental beliefs.
The Universal right to think.
Impostors passing off
as modern democracies,
collectively self-labelled
the mighty Western World,
despite more than none are led
by recognised dictators we accept,
as they only harm their own
Nicaragua, Venezuela, Cuba
to mention just a few.
And though as humans
we can merely hope
for unity strive
to accomplish the utopia
respecting demos differences,
no one can condemn
members of society
exerting their right to speak,
express their thoughts and will.
If division is for some,
a plausible solution
it is not for who disagrees
to revoke democracia,
gaol ideas by incarcerating bodies
fundamentals of authoritarianism,
as Madrid calls for European
arrest warrants for perpetrators of ideas
of independence I recall
famous words from the past.
"Ideas are far more powerful than guns.
We would not let our enemies have guns,
why should we let them have ideas?"
Yours faithfully, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin.

King Kong
in stripe
as groom
of grope
still star
in underworld
these legions
of force
who whatsoever
will take
her on
as siny
so Catalonia
won't dare
throng her
even today
without me
