1979 - Emily Critchley (U.K.)

 


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.
