A Year of Lockdowns. The road to Clapham Common.
After a year of lockdowns, with necessary restrictions, Britain is preparing to open up again. That should mean a return to public gatherings and protests- albeit still with precautions at the moment. Instead the Government is pushing through legislation to restrict protest further. The result can be seen on the streets.
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
