When hands don't reach out,: When hands don't reach out, be your own savior. You'll escape the water. Someone will be waiting with a towel. All the best.
I feel it, and I'm sorry: Feelings of a large room, and a heavy vacuum pushing across the expansive floor. Not a small person in your suffering, though. It's not possible to avoid filling the void with sadness and mourning, even if the sun unsympathetically carries on. The days must be counted, I suppose, till the next phase of life begins. All the best to you. This was really beautiful, no matter how sad. You do love justice.
Forgive me, but, ding dong,: Forgive me, but, ding dong, the witch is dead.
People who make their life upon claims that their bloodline allows them to drink off the backs of the masses are the truest of Welfare Queens. I wish not death upon anyone, but hopefully she gets a second chance to do it right (perhaps in pauper's clothes, next time).
That all said, a nice rhyming scheme, sir, poetically. And your solid use of allusion at the start cued me into what event had transpired, even though I haven't watched, listened to or read the news in about 3 months. Skillful penning!
Neither should we let go.: Neither should we let go. Dreams that are birthed in the innocence of youth are the ones that seem to last a lifetime. Often they guide us in our days. Thanks for sharing.
Going on a dozen years ago,: Going on a dozen years ago, surely there is much more of this where it came from. Hope the pen's up and about although there aren't any other posts since this.
Thank you most kindly. Very: Thank you most kindly. Very few have in public office exemplified her majesty's mien and dedication, the dignity with which she managed her almost impossible situation is something to be emulated and constantly be in awe of. Thanks again.
It is quite amazing when: It is quite amazing when poetry intersects the components of real events, pewrhaps that is one of the possible meanings when we say 'it is relatable' and other such phrases. Therein is a glimpse of the connective power of poetry.
