‘An Urn of Protest’ by Jac Atkinson

What: sculptures
Where: Llangoed Village Hall
When: 26 & 27 April, 11:00 - 17:00

A protest in the sixth year of Ch'ien Fu (AD 879)

The hills and rivers of the lowland country

You have made your battle-ground.

How do you suppose the people who live there

Will procure 'firewood and hay'?

Do not let me hear you talking together

About titles and promotions

For a single leader's reputation

Is made out of ten thousand corpses.

Poem by Ts'ao Sung

I hope Ts'ao Sung would forgive me for replacing 'general's' with 'leader's' as it seems more relevant to what is happening now, and to what I want to say.
