I made this from a photograph using digital software

First we had grow your own, and now it’s kill it yourself.

We had paint your own pictures then it was draw your own blood.

Write your own books then
Read your own palms.

We used to make love now it’s ensure your own climax

We used to  talk to each other
Now we message our others
We used to share bedrooms
Now we are alone with just Zoom
We used to have fantasies now we have pornography
We didn’t see our own vulvas
Now we get plastic surgery so they look good for anonymous strangers.

If we do everything ourselves and nothing for each other where will that lead to in the end?

Do we want to die by ourselves?

112 years since the War  to end all Wars began.

Don’t they realise that you can’t achieve peace by war?

This war is illegal.

Why can’t they learn from history?

Iraq Afghanistan Vietnam

Which of those have improved the world?

Which have saved lives?

Which have brought goodness into the world?

What is this monster the United States of America?

I bought more cyclamen and thought of you Wandering through wild flowers by my side.

I don’t know where to put them,they might die

Then I would feel so sad and lonely blue.

All we read of pain and love is true.

Yet we let our hearts stay open wide

I bought some cyclamen and wanted you Wandering through wild flowers by my side

I have loved not widely but a few

I have touched on bliss and when it flies I have touched the grief that truly lies

I bought these little flowers and thought of you
