ALEXIS LYKIARD 

LOGISTICAL SOLUTIONS’ FOR SENIORS 

To delay decay
or disillusion, keep things
simple anyway,

 declutter, staying
focussed – give bores short shrift, but
cherish all your loves

  HALF-HIDDEN AGENDA

UK’s a US
colony, like Israel:

Democracy’s
shite!

CASHING IN 

Zionist evil
knows no bounds: surveillance, lies,
arms sales – all for gain!

 WESTERN POLITICIANS ON PALESTINE
(April 2024)

 Shameful rhetoric,
sham concern, with spineless talk
of ‘Democracy’

 RAREST POETRY 

When measure, music,
meaning, co-exist or seem
inseparable
