A man made Scottish wasteland

No, those lambs aren’t cute

Their families have grazed this land to within an inch of its destruction

And sod the piles of peat sod

Sliced from the land where ancient folk trod

Legacy of the lairds

Who cleared the crofts

And let sheep ravage the land

To feather their nests

No birds left to feather theirs

One response to “A man made Scottish wasteland”

  1. Read at the June poetry evening
