Early this week – on Monday, to be precise – I fond myself writing another poem. It led me to consider the failure of so many politicians and so much of our media to take any kind of stance in opposition to an ongoing genocide, and that – in turn – led me to write. My thanks to both CultureMatters and Yorkshire Bylines for publishing the poem. Platforms for political poetry are few and far between, and I'm very grateful for what they do. If you've the time to click on the links to their respective webpages.
