Could you use your wit and vision to scribe something nearer the truth?

I'm not Mr Angry, I just wish we could address these problems for the love of England and its people.

In my own immitable way...? Ok here it comes
I don't write poetry, I just let it out. Some people are very careful about metre and rhyme and what calssification of poetry they are working with - its a mental process for them. Thats not the way it works for me. Something in my subconscious wants to be said and it ends up of the end of my pen, the most I do with it is tidy it up a bit. From a technical standpoint it's probably faulty but I'm not really interested in technal issues.
Poetry is not always meant to be literal, it often points to a way of understanding something or seeing it with new eyes in a way that helps you see what lies beneath the surface. Do you see beneath the surface Paul?
All the problems you describe can be boiled down to a sense of disconnection. A rediscovery of our very real connection to this land would solve them all. No, really. But there are those who can only see that as a Utopian fantasy and refuse to take their shoes off
My patriotism is natural not political.
