Halcyon Days
My mind often turns to those halcyon days
Filled with long summers and end of term plays.
Radio, still the king of the air and the mood of the people,
Devil may care.
The girls all loved Elvis, Cliff and Dion,
And the latest films were showcased in neon.
Where have they gone, those years tinged with gold?
When Quentin Crisp, whilst camp but bold,
Shocked the world when he said, “it’s OK
to accept men who are openly gay!”
A new age of freedom, of expression, of speech
The old order dismantled a President impeached!
Wars fought and lost, unrest on the street,
A city divided by steel and concrete.
A new world to build full of hope and ambition
Free of tyranny, lies and sedition.
Now it is done, on a new world we gaze
So why do we turn to those halcyon Days?
BECAUSE OF THE SOUL SAPPING, MONEY HUNGRY EU!
