Alba, My Alba

So this is it. It was it, Scotland’s chance at self-determination, blown away like thistledown on the winds of despair and fear. This little blue flame that had so much potential to become a beacon of democracy for the world has been snuffed out and the world can now get on with the business of spiraling into the shithole it has made for itself. Just a blip on the screen of darkness. So much for the chimes of freedom.
They may ring again one day, but probably not in my lifetime. The Unicorn is still chained.
