Obfuscate

Make obscure, unclear, or unintelligible,

Don't mention Westminster; incomparable? ,

I'm a humble Wordsmith scribbler, Y' see,

However,WE doodling scribblers, decree.

That my amateur rhyming's a superiority; 

London's political nonsensical stupidity.

Unravelling Kingdoms eventually disappear,

Afterwards, reborn countries do reappear!

Purblind

Having an impaired or defective vision; partially blind

Slow or unable to understand; dim-witted - bear in mind

Ineffably for insanity, Westminster might come to mind

Unreal Kingdoms and London's dominance of MSM's unkind

Slow or unable to understand... Simply being dim-witted

Having impaired or defective vision - NEVER is admitted

Alas, did NOT study Scottish-English history from 1705

Professor Alfred Baird contrasts this to everyone alive

Contempt for the people of a nation older than England

Scotland had just been told it was a second-class land 

What's known as cultural and linguistic imperialism...

Realising that self-determination's becoming a REALISM 

Independence is decolonisation, where there's no choice 

People’s independence, liberation-decolonisation-voice

Exploitation and oppression the perishing of an entire 

People, their nations and culture are bound to expire.

In 2022, we're now in an entirely different existence

This IS factual, yet some history has a consistence...

Scotland can mark this time as when we are Independent

Again to rejoin the international nation's contingent!

November 27, 2022

Sunday, Sabbath, or "Sàbainnd" as my parents said
These bilingual expressions emerging from my head 
Natural communications, WERE between minds y' see
Throughout childhood years and perhaps eternally?

Traitorous people were bought & sold, English gold
Presently, the Unreal Kingdom continues to unfold  
Yesterday's gone, but today marks our fresh start
Restoring an independent place in our world's heart!

Quatrain

Words are enough to form this piece for us,
Quatrain, perhaps, couplet rhyming, no fuss.
Four lines a-rhyming give a pleasant pluss...
Hopefully, at least, eventually, you suss.

UDI

The unilateral Declaration of Independence - available source,
After all, Scottish politicians are like other people, of course.
While Scotland's population are soveiryn people, each person;
This has been respectfully remembered now - forever and annon.

Angus/Roderick

Both he and brother Roderick

Two more Scottish lads struck

Angus fatally... yet Roddy not

Brother the more fortunate Scot

Eternally remembered-loved

Lost and injured are beloved

Quietly calmly contemplative

As done - knew and meditative 

Revered through passing ages

While lacing histories pages

Angus's memories do last

And echoes throughout past

While we're walking in freedom

And welcoming as if you come

Here in freedom, as was won

We're basking in freedom's sun.

1707 - 2022

Speaker of the English Parliament said of Scotland,
When the Acts were signed “ We have catch’d her and 
Will hold her tight” lest we forget it out of hand?
But we never, ever will; not while Scots understand!

We reject violence so that leaves the legal route,
Peacefulness today is the point that'll best suit,
Resumption of Scotland's rightful place, in the world;
Therefore, 2022 will correct as the future's unfurled.

The shiny coins of 1707 still hold the same allure
After more than 300 years. It is the People who are 
Sovereign, not false idols shaped by today's London;
2022's almost done, soon NEWNESS being common.

“My Dad”... to their Son,

Cosmos-bred and began;

Wisdom's near and afar,

To be loved ---- our star. 

Wisdom’s known ‘n’ shared,

Topics, plenty, nil spared...

Questions posed, & cleared;

Beloved children endeared.

Parents, seeing your glow,

Life's story, we let it show.

All challenges, to solve;

Ultimately you'll evolve.

Learn answers Hereafter,

Celebrating this chapter;

Story endures, never ends,

Our peacefulness extends.

Misunderstanding

Certain cases were still pending,

Awaiting a decision, understanding;

But, kind-heartedness IS missing:

UK is really the misunderstanding!

Koda's Pack

Loves his pack, from Perth's branch,    

Scotland's Perth City there surrounds,

West-side members are another Ranch;

If Koda's eaten, joined happy hounds!

Evolving

We're as we are, everyone might say,

Life's story, both follows and guides,

'As-were' lies behind you  ~ anyway;

Ultimately, fresh discovering glides!

Scott Morrison

In his earlier days, and these earlier times,

Echoing Morrison's motorcycling history...

His motorcycling notions... later 'refines';

Also determined - add a personal story!

e. 22.6.22//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Act of Union? 

Entered into a treaty, lasted centuries,

On 23.6.2022, I composed this piece;

Both nations are diametrically different;

So, nowadays are separating in peace? 

The Unrealistic Kingdom is not fitting,

As more and more are realising... now;

Abroad and here where I'm sitting;

Peace is vital... amicably, that's how! 

Having grandchildren being thankful,

After restoring what's been lost before;

Mistakes happened, but being truthful,

Fresh celebrations, coming, therefore! 

Ewenart 

Practising ~

Brazing exercises are soon to be practised

Hoping to resume what I'd managed before...

Many forms of artwork... beats unpractised;

Ultimately, a happy amateur - that's fair!

UK?

Who said the Unreal Kingdom is really useless?

I know it was no one person in particular here;

It was multitudinous instead of any singularness,

OK, I understand of course... Populationousmess!

"Seana-chàirdeas"?

Old friendship? In our second language... I explain;

I was born to a bilingual family, agus some remains.

You and I were so close... If not so? There IS pain!

I'm sorry to be unsure here; whoever truly explains?

Perhaps an Ineffable situation, as it seems to me,

But to ignore this without questioning, cannot be;

If one never questions, there are NO answers, see?

Writing/talking to one's self... implies insanity! 

Anyway, being between two minds is truly possible,

That is actually the case with bilingual people...

Maybe monoglot individuals feel it's impossible;

However, I don't agree with them... Being gullible?

In closing, I'm leaving this rhyming creation here

Being composed as both a practising exercise and (a)

The questioning piece that's bilingualist and clear;

Perhaps just an old amateur's poetic blah, blah?

Bòidheach

Is Scottish Gaelic for beautiful, bonny, pretty

And bilingually, this in itself is delightfully

Wonderful for someone like myself to identify...

Steòrnabhach: pertains to Stornoway; and me!

Thence, 'Stornowegian' IS being between minds

Are words that come from my deepest memories

And this being an ineffable aspect of our kinds;

Bilingually... some sort of bilingual plenaries?

Yesterday's gone and tomorrow's times impending,

Naturally

Guinness 

Guinness, in draught form, and from a can,

One way 0r the other, the taste buds approve;

Good dining and fine wines are a fine plan...

Better still, with Guinness, I always approve.

In Scottish Gaelic òl is drinking, imbibing,

Bilingualism allows the creation of Bio-rhym;

Hereby composing and sharing as describing,

Enjoying writing what might well be sublime?

Love beer... yet Coffee IS A Hug In A Mug,

As black as the Ace of Spades and to hand,

Even Nectar cannot  be sweeter in the jug;

Both drinks equally in first place stand!

Independent Scotland All The Way,

To my delighted surprise.... see?

Yes, IS the right answer to say,

Ages pass, ~ and soon FREE!

Act of Union? 🙃

THIS treaty, having lasted centuries,

Held together, through wars and peace,

Two nations, diametrically different;

Yet, and are likely to separate in peace.  😉 

The Unrealistic Kingdom is not fitting,

Formed in 1922 - Disuniting's impending

Internationally and local awareness now,

Peace is vital, amicable and that's how! 🙂

We and our descendants will be thankful,

Restoring what was lost, to be tranquil,

Mistakes have happened, to be truthful;

Fresh celebrations, and to be fruitful!  💓

58%

Is today's supporting Scotland's independence resumption,

And of course, this is BEFORE our campaigning has begun...

England's government already knows of our expectations;

Via SSRG, Scotland's closer to firing our starter gun!

"Conaltradh"

Conversation and/or communication in misty memories

Bilingually drifting to and fro... barely clarities

However, online investigation is now available here

Sometimes accurately - otherwise, it's nowhere near!

Someone

Didn't engage in conversation; for

She was withdrawn and preoccupied, 

Unable to converse with her father,

Thoughts unspoken instead subsumed.

"Pàrantail"

Parental in my second/main language

Bilingually absorbed, as a package;

When one's partner isn't likewise...

Tolerance is essential, or partage?

Sgròbadh

"For scribblers such as myself", knowing others exist

Very encouraging to know: another's articles persist 

I've been a scribbler since my primary school times

In his jotters, a wee boy's writing's OK, sometimes

"Please Miss", inner page scribbling can't be Ewen's

His drawings are much better than his handwriting is

Copperplate writing meant nothing in Primary school

Seanair's (grandfather's), memories do provide fuel

Closing here, with thanks for your time, as I rhyme

Bilingual writing's interesting... perhaps sublime?

Asked

Reading what's on your mind Ewenart's Page

Well, this's interesting to be asked, sage

These days, My smaller pieces like my poems

Are signed with Ewenart, like my mini koans

Naturally enough, and echoing earlier years

Writing Ewenart on your PC, see what appears

Forgive me please, while this rhyming tries

Readers, viewing with happiness... or cries

Gumption

Shrewd or spirited initiative and resourcefulness

Scottish people love it, a fond form of cleverness 

A single word instead of many pretentious types

Childhood memories & and today's different likes

My 'Muirichinn' (children/family) bilingual branch

Born to Hebridean parents: a quite different ranch 

With beautifully mixed ingredients, the dish's rich

Two languages naturally embued, happy to be betwixt

I'm closing with this stanza until the next piece;

However, Need to end this line with the word niece.

Là na Neo-eisimeileachd!       

Possibly, the reader can't read/pronounce 

Yet writing's a peaceful style to announce

What's written here in my second language

Hope you'll excuse the mistakes in usage 

Here you'll spot faulty bilingualism, perhaps

I'd be amazed if rhymes well, without cracks 

If my parents were still alive, perhaps they    

Would be unsettled by Gaelic's weaker display

Unraveling Kingdom (UK), certainly withering

Independence's natural resumed non-bickering

Scotland/Alba to regain original world place

Là na Neo-eisimeileachd, doing it with grace
