After the inquiry

After the inquiry

* after the inquiry *
All the coronial inquiries
The long winded statements
Referrals to ministerial diaries
Who ate what at which dinner
Who was meant to be responsible
A Versaille hall of mirrors
Had less angles and paths than this
The constant passing of who or whom
A flurry of noise without sense
A clamour to distract
The dead will always be with us
The deeds done are done
Our sights must hereafter be set
On preventing future disaster
Making strong the processes
Before again we forget.
