I love Wilfred Owen's Dulce et decorum est and its searingly powerful depiction of the reality of war. It resonated with me, the futility of war. The recent glorification and politicisation of the armed...

Dulce et decorum est operatus cunctis diebus vitae tuae – with a nod to Wilfred Owen

Bent double, old beggars sit in doorways,

Sanctioned, unable to work, cap in front,

His dog sleeps on the blanket, people...
