PENDANT PUBLISHING in the UK has published a
free e-book of 19 poems, edited by Russell Bennetts, entitled Poets
For Corbyn which celebrates the political phenomenon of Jeremy Corbyn and all the hopes he carries for
the birth – or rebirth – of an authentic British Labour Party. I have
reproduced here the contribution of Michael Rosen, a fellow historian, because
it so succinctly captures the vacuity of Corbyn’s opponent’s arguments. The
rest of the poems are available at http://www.berfrois.com/poets-for-corbyn/
Enjoy.
For Jeremy Corbyn
Michael Rosen
Fresh from:
proclaiming
the virtues of the
1000
year dynasty, the British monarchy;
advising
us of the special qualities of a
non-elected
second chamber
with
its origins in Norman rule;
celebrating
an economic system
that
was developed and finessed
with
the use of child labour around 1810;
continuing
to solve international disputes
with
the 10,000 year old method of
killing
those you disagree with;
they tell us that socialism is outdated.
