Stonehenge

There they are Sarsons and Blue

from the Neolithic people who

dragged their wealth onto the green

with muscle     never by machine

spuriousness and fraility

And ofcourse the mendacity

an ediface and affirmation

a place of druidic  creation

the bones of many would have lain

the threat of sinew and of pain

and now Grant Schapps

decides that he

will forge a path

and try to see

the enigmatic faithful who

left behind these stones to woo

new devotees to the way

to communicate and try to lay

inventiveness

ideality

chimerical and legendary

a tunnel

On the A303

With our present eyes

of course  we see

all the glory of long ago

of miracles as well we know

knock it down  use JcB’s

Unearth the antiquities

destruction based upon the car

the labouring mobsters they will scar

the sitev the Sarsons and the Blues

And it seems  we have lost the rights to choose.
