The Day That Was


ATTENTION.
All the fun and fanfare has now passed. The Americans have a new President. The world has (apparently) now got new hope.

And yet we are all still in precisely the same old shit that we were in yesterday.
And the day before that.
And the day before that, too!

The megatrons have been powered down, dismantled, packaged and shipped.

Tears were shed. And yet jubilation reigned supreme. Speeches have been over-analysed. Omissions have been hailed. Inclusions - debated. To what end?

The sun still rises in the East. The moon will continue to wax & wane. Suffering will not end. Poverty, death, disease and greed prevail.

O Happy Day! O Happy Thoughts!
And so now: To Work!
