\nRight now though no one in our media cares as they all talk of
\nHis fighting bulldog spirit and how he’ll battle on through just
\nLike they saw him on the rugby fields of Eton more than forty
\nYears before. He’s super-fit I heard one tory hack-minister claim
\nBefore the interviewer managed to ask about his body-mass
\nEquating a case of obesity but ‘oh no, he runs, he exercises every
\nDay and barely drinks’ he claimed.
\n
\nSo now out there people continue to teem around the streets
\nCarrying on with their lives as if everything is normal and then
\nThere are those who’ve decided they want to do something
\nAbout it. David Icke announces the burgeoning 5G masts are
\nResponsible for all this horror and the next thing we know they
\nAre being destroyed and whilst I think his theories mad it does
\nOffer a question.
\n
\nWhere did this come from and why did it happen? Well, in
\nYears, maybe decades to come, the truth will doubtless come
\nOut and practically no one will notice as it’ll just be a footnote
\nIn a history book by then but I can guarantee you one thing, it
\nWeren’t the 5G masts that caused this as to this mind it seems
\nMore like an exercise in control, seeing just how far they could
\nPush us, telling us what to do and how to live this life that grew
\nJust a little out of control.

\nBIOGRAPHY
\n
\n
\nBradford Middleton was born in south-east London during the summer of 1971 and won his first poetry prize at the age of nine. He then gave up writing poems for nearly twenty-five years and it wasn’t until he landed in Brighton, knowing no one and having no money, that he began again. Ten years later and he’s been lucky enough to have had a few chapbooks published including a new one from Analog Submission Press entitled ‘Flying through this Life like a Bottle Battling Gravity’, his debut from Crisis Chronicles Press (Ohio, USA) and his second effort for Holy & Intoxicated Press (Hastings, UK). He has read around the UK at various bars, venues and festivals and is always keen to get out and read to new crowds. His poetry has also been or will be published shortly in the Chiron Review, Zygote in my Coffee, Section 8, Razur Cuts, Paper & Ink, Grandma Moses ‘Poet to Notice’, Empty Mirror, Midnight Lane Gallery, Bareback Lit and is a Contributing Poet over at the wonderful Mad Swirl.
