Dispirited by the treachery of the ruling classes and gratitude to Nick Hayes’ book, The Book of Trespass, in which he explores out-of-bounds country estates, explaining how we came to be excluded from 92% of English land.
The land
Lord
Lording
The land
Stolen
Power
Protected
By walls
And laws
Denoting
Who’s higher
Or lower
The politics of
Entitlement
Of hearsay
Of heresy
Bombastic
Embezzlement
Time spent
Crafting life
At the
Expense
Of common
Sense
Flagrent fines
Destroying lives
The land lord
A simulated
Giant
Swanning
In a
Bucolic
Swindle
Legitimate
Earth
Reframed as
Private
Turf
The ultimate
Tresspass
The land lord
Agent of the
Crown
Demented
Toff
Brooding
Over his
Purloined
Wealth
The land lord
A lost cause
Untethered
From
The power
To imagine
Anything
Else
Can happen
In the stakes
Of take
And no give
I say to the
Land
Lord
It was
Never
Yours
