Public Service Announcement

As the radio crackled into life

(It had been sadly forgotten in the corner

After the war, tubes and valves

And lessons learned sadly neglected)

Voices from the past whispered from its dusty circuits

The people are called upon

To show their strength, their resilience

And embrace the nature within

The true DNA that builds families

And homes; that connects us all

This voice is mine now and it

Pleads for calm and reason as we prepare to hibernate

Remember now the pleasure of a bed sheet

And two rickety chairs

How we could turn it into a castle with a snap

And build our own kingdom

As we pile the cushions high now

We can return to our children's dreams

Remember all that we have forgotten

So that when the time comes to rebuild and mend

We have the power to make it better

The voice on the radio drones on, it belongs to another

I've no time for the old rulers
