Outlaws Without Claws
Here I am without resistance
Waiting for existance
To give me due cause
As to when my heart is allowed a pause
Away from lethal claws
And government outlaws
Ivor Steven (c) August 2021

Both should be avoided, outlaws and lethal claws.

A relatable poem, Ivor. I am tired of both “lethal claws” and “government outlaws!” 🙂

You know, I’ve been talking to Lorraine about putting together a new anthology called Protest Songs…I think your poetry would find a happy home there!

Sweet photo! 🙂 An AW in all good ways. 🙂
Powerful poem…And so relatable. Those -aws you write of are scary and heart-wearying.
Amazing song.
