Graceful Lives The landscape from my home is clear, as cottonwool clouds dab gently at a cooling breeze. A sway of poppies transfuse the golden morrow's bread while yonder hill stands proud but soft and smooth ... green over all.
A buzzy lake with waterfowl, and leaping fry and stealthy tench. This clean and pleasant land, This dream, this England! |

DISGRACEFUL EVILS The landscape on the screen is blurred, by acrid clouds from burning fields and orphaned homes. Stilled, human scarecrows guard a crop of wanton waste as unseen guns chant loud their prayer of hate and prey upon a sacrificial mess.
A crater with some water foul, a shattered church, a burning mosque and Holy Smoke defiles with deathly stench, that cleaned-of-peasant land, that nightmare that's intolerance.
