It is time




It wont be about Kings, Princes and Sovereignty
there will be no banner waving pageantry
no marches or protest nor musicians
it will be in the silence in the forests of Mid Wales
that will chime
"It is time"
The 'everyman', the ordinary woman
will have had enough of Brexit decay
there wont be a great deal of difference day to day
but there will be a change of mindset.
They've been on about re-wilding for quite a time 
bringing back the wolves and the lynx
but you know it stinks.
It's a game, we're being played
because as soon as we think we are free
they'll hire a marksman and put him in a tree
and as we run and dance in Independence trance
the hired hand, the hit man releases the safety catch
but the bang does not come
because the Green Man has spread some fresh branches
that are choking, caressing and poking
doing everything that the establishment has done to us.
If you look up you will now see
that the sniper has become a part of that tree.
the dull and doltish
will respond to the sparkle
of Meghan Markle
but we the Green Men and Women of the Mid Wales trees
will be re-grouping, re-wilding and re-Welshing
not with a 'ch'
<<<<<<<<Welching>>>>>>>>
so that you can claim that we betrayed you
or rather betrayed ourselves by becoming one of your battalions
but with a spring in our step and a confidence in our speech
that proclaims "We will siarad Cymraeg even if it kills us"
and then there will be silence again
bar the breaking of the odd sprig of twig
