Imagine swifts & herons

Imagine swifts & herons stalked

empty tunnels underground Parliament, or nightingales sang from the shard
what people would say?

They saw it but noticed not.

If politicians could shriek
and shrivel up in their seats
would war and terror be lost?

If that egret could get in here
anyone can and anyone will.

Fear-heroes or aspiring terrorists,
are just like our neo-pols.

Just something dodgy about a cool party hack.
