Refugees by Brian Bilston
I try not to dally with politics on here but there have been a few exceptions. One of the advantages of the daily tip run at the moment is a chance to listen to Radio 4 without having distractions other than avoiding pedestrians and speed cameras. So I was fascinated to hear about this poem. Clever is too small a word for it and no matter what your view on the subject it hits the mark though I would strongly suggest that you read the poem again, in reverse, from the bottom line. In a world that is increasingly intolerant and has the prospect of Donald Trump as leader of the most powerful country in the world I think this is very powerful – and I am not a great lover of poetry, but this just works. Give it a go.
It was written by Brian Bilston – good job!
So now read it back
The Biking Gardener 
Very cleaver and so true – the backwards one I mean
A fine twist!Speaking as an Iowa Democrat(the state that gave President Obama his first win on the road to the White House)-Trump will NOT become President.
Thank you for the reassurance! It does seem he is in a bit of trouble this week.
Superb choice, Geoff
