New song lyric of mine:
In many ways, I should have grown from your fall,
as an empire's dust feeds a seed,
but I walk your old river, and still hear your call
in the gush of a sluice's speed.
My immigrant fathers have given me hands
that remember their toil at the touch,
while your fathers were men summoned out to strange lands
to rule with the cross or the birch.
Funny, how I should meet you here, eye-to-eye.
Ghosts make the twine of a grey-woven Cambridge sky.
In countless towns, I'd be the green to your red:
the field turns from colonial sun.
But this ground's been made pale, in the blue overhead,
by your whisper that nothing's been won.
Our riddle of difference can be answered now
in the city that bound us as one,
as two reeds that rolled down on the cold river flow,
got caught on the lock, and were gone.
Funny, how we should meet here, eye-to-eye.
Ghosts make the twine of a grey-woven Cambridge sky.

Well done Master Finsbury P.C.
