Kali Yuga 2025
This is a retread of an older poem; and I felt I had to finish it to stop me sinking further into despair.The worst of it is that we have close friends in the U.S. who are telling us that they no longer recognise their own country.

I read my own father in so much of your words; I felt you spoke for so many of us sons who never properly connected with their fathers; in particular with the generation that came back from WWII.
