Shell Read

I have added a page to publish my poetry. I write them to memorialise the experience that made me a communist: working for Clifford Chance. Below is just one of multiple poems currently published there. You can get there via the button in the top right corner of the home page or via this link: https://shellread.com/poetry/

Our Friend Africa

The IMF, The World Bank
The BIS, and the CFA Franc

Blow me a kiss
Make a wish

Liberalism will make it true
Actually, no
I’ll strangle you

Coup d’état, Coup de grâce
The AFRICOM military base

While you’re in this chokehold
Quiet now
I’ll take your gold
