On the top of the mountain
You can breath at last

Some things you don't need to have a comfort
A tiny nice house, a child and a dog, An evening cacao, and morning thick fog. And waffles for breakfast, some coffee with milk, When sleeping at night your linens are silk. You've got a new car and a modern TV, You spend your vacation just near the sea. Do often you think what else you may want? Have ever you thought what totally don't? No missiles exploding next to your house, And people just running away in the chaos. No children frightened with simple balloons, And long queue of refugees under the Moon. No tanks on the street, no bombs in the air, No war in your country in modernest era. Today you can ask someone from Ukraine, What happened to them to be real and main. To sleep in your bed the whole silent night, То know that your family save and alive. To give to your child the fresh food all day, To have a safe place for all you to stay. To help one another, and army as well, To have something good for others to tell. Do often you think what else you could choose? Have ever you thought what easy can lose?..

I wanted to title this something different, but worried that my chosen title might cause problems entering the United States in the future so this is the new title. It's the greatest title. No one has ever written a title better than this. (All titles unrelated to content).
Let me be honest. I am finding this difficult. Now, I like a challenge, a stretch, a bit of an obstacle course. “Write about the decline of the British Empire in the form of a narrative poem in which your protagonist is an artichoke” I read, and flex my fingers. “Write a haiku to evoke the sensation of sibilance using only the first half of the alphabet.” “Well”, I think to myself, “this should be fun.” But “write about a system that isn’t working”? A system that isn’t working? Now? In 2026? ONE system? My favourite system that isn’t working? The sexiest system that isn’t working? The one giving me the most angst day to day? The one giving me the most existential dread? I am, as I say, finding this difficult. I will own that I have contemplated writing a thousand words on why the steady “all on” setting on my fairy lights is the EIGHTH of seven options which must be sequentially activated to get there, because that is a system that some fool came up with and it definitely doesn’t work, and now who is paying the price, eh? But how can I write about my fairy lights when…. When…. When….
