Loneliness - Brendan Behan
The tang of blackberries
Wet with rain
On the hill top.
In the silence of the prison
The clear whistle of the train.
The happy whisperings of lovers
To the lonely one.

Good to listen to this podcast about my uncles that includes this section on my father Brian's involvement in left-wing politics

I remember the way
the smiles returned
to the faces of people in need –
how the downtrodden tribes
of the most deprived
felt their misery recede –
and how love returned
to siblings of Earth
once rid of Tory greed.
I remember houses
and hospitals built
and heat return to the home –
I remember the singing
and dancing all night
and the rambler’s
freedom to roam –
I remember the neglected
soul’s delight
at the love now freely shown.
