New Fictions
Our fictions are crumbling –
God, King and Country
Have lost their meaning.
People have lost their faith.
We need better fictions
To believe in;
Fictions that are better
Than the old ones.
One planet; one people,
One realm of nature;
One home for us all;
To be treated with respect.

We created fictions to hold us together and give us strength. But the cohesion is wearing thin. We are becoming divided.
We no longer believe there is a god.
We’ve lost our faith in our politicians.
We do not stand for the Queen.
We know all people are one. That race, nationality and creeds are fictions.
I think it’s time to jettison the old and bring in a new set that we can believe in.
Everyone.
Nature.
The planet.
I’d put my faith into those.
