#100peoplepoems part 93: Tony

God knows where this sprang from.

Tony remembers 1997

When everyone loved him and he was in heaven

Tony remembers 1998

When a lot of the left would still call him a mate.

Tony remembers 1999

When his ratings were high it was still going fine

Tony remembers the year Y2K

When everything seemed to be going his way.

Tony remembers 2001

The first part of which was still pretty good fun.

Tony remembers 2002

And his powerful friends  who told him what to do

Tony remembers 2003

And the millions who marched whom he chose not to see

Tony remembers how once he was whole

And fingers the gold that he got for his soul.
