Emperors and new clothes come to mind.

The point I was trying to get across in my hamfisted way, is that unless we deal with the real issues that are kicking the door in at the moment, then the spirit of England will be lost forever.
You say that if we rediscover our very real connection to this land all the problems I described would be solved, but how do you know this, it is just a flowery sentiment that has no fact or foundation.

Describing a fantasy that I can't see gives you an advantage in any debate because you can simply call me "one eyed" and accuse me of having no soul, but can't realists have soul too?

I say again, I loved your poem and admire your use of words, but it's muscle, not thought, that brings the coal in for the fire!!
I can see you are not an artist.
