What majestic tree
was sacrificed
in its prime
to make a coffin
for a figurehead ?
Whence came the flowers
for the thousands of glib
and vulgar 'floral tributes'
to the dead
queen of the Chagos Islands
'cleared' (like the Scottish Highlands)
of their inhabitants,
and lightly, poisonously populated
by the American military instead ?
