H - an aliterational approximation

H



by

Alun Buffry

 

Transparent butterflies flit amongst the transient stars

as bouncing bubbles burst on broken moonbeams.

Rainbows run around the rippling rivers

fumbling over faithful fountains.

Sparkling shadows seep between the sunsets

whilst whistling weepers wave from windows.

Many millions mourners make a martyr,

standing somewhere silently beyond space.

Loosely rhyming lines of lullabies

gag the gorgeous gems of galaxies,

never noticing the numbered nomads,

driving dozens dromedaries down deserts,

purposely persuading passers by to pay,

countless crispy notes and coded coins -

before the beautiful beholder is belittled.

Frequently the foolish faulty fiddlers

only offer ornamental oodles,

very vaguely valued vibrants,

ever aiming for an endless evening,

questioning the qualities of quanta.

Yet the yellow yodellers yearn

as all the armadillos answer

zealous zebras zimmering in zoos.

It's intelligence involving inhibition,

exalting in exciting extras ever.

And all the world is in an atom - H.

So what was the LCA all about?

So what was the LCA all about?

The Legalise Cannabis Alliance and what we did is in the Commemorative Edition of Legalise and Utilise, available on Amazon: the campaigns, the elections, the people, the fliers, the policies, "The Challenge", the communications with the Home Office and much more. LCA candidates contested over 80 election, distributed hundreds of thousands of fliers, attended protests, picnics in the parks, rallies and festivals: spoke at the Oxford Union, House of Commons, Universities, trade union fairs and even a High School for Girls in London.

LCA campaigning helped see the downgrading of cannabis to Class C under the Misuse of Drugs Acts, albeit after deregistering as POLITICAL PARTY it was ungraded again. Such was the value and influence of a devoted campaign, run all along on a shoe-string budget by volunteers.

LCA was the only UK single issue cannabis party to have a party broadcast on TV and radio. It was probably the most active cannabis campaign group in the UK, ever.
