1979
-
Emily Critchley (U.K.)
was
my lifetime ago: the year
the
socialist revolutionaries were murdered,
women
brutally oppressed, a country
upended;
its people taken hostage.
Will
they never learn, these ideologues?
I
dread to see what happens when
my
comrades get the prize for which
they’re
so continually clamouring.
