Remember Beatrix?

I don't know how many of you might remember my poetry but anyway, I was called Beatrix on these boards but opted for a different name. Here's my part two thread to "Clingfilm Poetry" ... it's quite different to the old poems. I think.


Dedication to Sufferers

It is easy to complain
About the misfortunes
That befall us -
But we never think of
Those who suffered more
And never caused a fuss.

We paint ourselves in colours
That are fake and bleed
Together in the rain -
But there are some who
Do not paint - they highlight
What is there again.

There are endless bibliographies
In multitudinous bookstores
Telling many brave "true" stories -
And there are many people
Never written in books
Who can truly say They know what Glory is.
