"To those held down now is always when"

A Piece of the Pie

Though all of us would like to share the pie
Some claim it for themselves to keep us free
Though we without pie might not understand
Our health their loss their profit our disease
They might not understand us then till when
We understand and things get out of hand

To those held down now is always when
The time is for us to do as we please
Who only want to find out how to do
What makes them happy so we can be too
And I for one wonder if it could be
As happy as it is for them for me

Remembering what those with pie forgot
It is no longer enough to ask why
Now is when I would like to know why not
And would like to have a piece of the pie

To those held down when is always now
On pieless streets where those with pie prevail
We want to make it like they do somehow
And fight to but held down fall back and fail
Though we scramble still sick silly and sad
To save a little from those with a lot

When in the end it drives some of us mad
Who would like to have a piece of the pie
Who remember what those with pie forgot
Then is no longer enough to ask why
Beginning to feel things get out of hand
Now is when I am asking then why not

Next Arrivals by Robin Ouzman Hislop

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' – both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
