Poetry Thursday 47 - Change

 Labour Party's slogan for this general election is 'Change' - I wonder what that means? 



Change

 

Is this what Keir means in the interminable fuss,

of hustings and on the Labour battle bus?

 

In the dawn of July 4th, whispers of change arise,

A dance of seasons, a kaleidoscope of skies.

Leaves unfurl, petals bloom, parties shift their course,

change weaves its magic, an unseen, force.

 

Or is it to do with a move to clarity

after 14 years of dishonesty.

 

From caterpillar to butterfly, a metamorphosis unfolds,

Wings stretch wide, colours emerge, stories yet untold.

Mountains crumble, oceans surge, landscapes rearrange,

Change, the silent architect, shapes our world's range.

 

All very pretty and idealistic,

but with election promises, be realistic.

 

Embrace the flux, the ebb and flow, as blue turns into red,

for change is unknown canvas, where shades meet the dread of light,

in the tapestry of history, threads of truth will emerge,

Labour’s purpose, our existence, must change from dull to bright.
