Where Did It Go (Wrong?) Poem by Jon Ian Clarke

That old rueful song
O' where?
Assuaging blame,
That old terrible game.
Always the same
Ne'r, no change.
Where, oh where?
Where, who really cares!
That is the lament.
Often understated,
To late sent,
Joy!
BRING BACK,
THAT EFFORTLESS, LOVE SONG.
Like a key,
Never spoken
Always never awoken
When times flowed effortlessly
Is anything ever as good?
But we remember,
The toxic brigade,
Are always redacting,
Analysing fake news,
To bake anew,
Where did it go!
That old powerful glow
Oh no!
Read the script,
Back to front.
Oh what's that,
Where Oh Where,
Do I go now?
