Adrian writes: “I am a European who was born in England, lived for many years in Europe, became bi-cultural and bi-lingual, married a European wife and raised two European children. Yesterday was the end of the European dream for the nation of my birth.

@KentBylines @willfurnell Here is the poem that I wrote yesterday after seeing this free-running fox when out walking.
The Kent Fox, New Year 2021
There's no New Year for Mister Fox
It's just another winter day
No frontiers with their gates and locks
To steal his space and time away
Europeans together.

@KentBylines @willfurnell The springtime breeze and autumn gales
Observe no calendars or dates
The rhythmic trek of wolves and whales
Ignore men's flags and nation states.
At Kent's white cliffs her chalky hills
Beneath the sparkling waves advance
To rise and roll unfettered forth,
Observe no calendars or dates
The rhythmic trek of wolves and whales
Ignore men's flags and nation states.
At Kent's white cliffs her chalky hills
Beneath the sparkling waves advance
To rise and roll unfettered forth,
@KentBylines @willfurnell The green and chalky hills of France.
Let vain men draw their maps and raise
Their gaudy banners, walls and clocks.
The winter winds and summer haze
Will mark the days of Mister Fox.”
P.S. After reading the poem, An Croenen Brutsaert put it into music Here are her lyrics

@KentBylines @willfurnell disregard of the chalky hills and winter winds for the flimsy fences of mean-spirited men, we too will continue to be. #ForeverEuropean #StillEuropean #Kent
