Overview

This poetry collection is both a lament and a call to awareness, chronicling the erosion of tradition, the unraveling of once-stable societies, and the silent struggles of those caught in the tides of change. Through vivid and evocative verse, it explores the weight of history, where the wisdom of the past is ignored, and the foundations of identity are steadily undermined. The poems capture a world at a crossroads-where sovereignty clashes with subjugation, and the battle for cultural preservation plays out in the halls of governance, on the farmer's land, in the soldier's march, and in the hearts of those watching their nations fray. It speaks to the burdens of the sentinels, the watchmen, and the shepherds of law and culture, who either sound the alarm or remain silent as forces of transformation reshape their world. Recurring themes of betrayal, resilience, and faith weave through the collection, offering both a dirge for what is lost and a tribute to those who resist. The clash between old and new, the weight of broken promises, and the silent suffering of the forgotten form its backbone. From the fading echoes of Albion and the vanishing traditions of a once-proud land to the relentless march of progress that silences dissent, this book asks the reader to bear witness. History's warnings often begin as whispers before they become shouts, and the cost of silence may be greater than we dare imagine.

Author Information

John Shenton was raised in the grey dawn of postwar England, where history's echoes lingered, he set his sights on distant horizons, first answering the sea's call as a Radio Officer upon ships bound for the Persian Gulf, the Indian Ocean, and the South China seas. Yet fate's currents shift, and with hard-won degrees in hand, he turned to the workings of wire and code, traversing England, Germany, Switzerland, and Canada, each land a chapter in his ledger of experience. But beyond circuits and machines, his true craft became the study of governance, history's repeating hand, and the forces that shape nations. Now, he takes his ease, golfing, sailing, and writing, letting the winds of thought and memory guide his pen, for the journey never truly ends, it merely finds another course.
