Thanks John - the poem comes out of a short story I wrote years ago and never did anything with... so there is a backstory ;-)

You've captured this brutal time so beautifully, David. All around me are the memories left by the clearances and the signs of their greed still persist; destroying our land for their wind farms, powerlines and private estates!

There's a real story in here, Dave! And recognising who the enemy is at the end is masterful!
