"Gangsters in the Kingdom" is a montage to Roald Dahl, beloved children's author and WW2 figher pilot. His words and voice ring out clearly as he says 2 warnings to all ernest writers.
1). "If you must commit murder then the best way to do it is with a pencil and paper."
2). "We writers kill more people than all the gangster in the kingdom put together."
I hope the terror of a writer like Mr Dahl is not disturbing to my viewers, but instead tantalising? Mr. Dahls perspectives on the craft of writing and the dangers in the craft are based on considerable experience and insight, and well worth bearing in mind, even before words are spoken.

Mr Dahls words and the tenor of this montage in both image and sound reminded me of a poem I had wrote long ago, so I put it in the video. Here is the poem in full, and without movement:
Anxieties and How Words Collect
I divide circle
In to time
And I divide time
In to circles
For so very long
I begin to see
The seasons and the ages
Rise and fall
In succession with
Death and birth; decay and growth; change, renewal, fertility cults in origines and death cults at it's end;
All held together by word...
Like so many webs wrapped around
You fear to move,
Lest you disturb the air.

This montage is done in love and respect for the words and wisdom of Mr. Roald Dahl. R.I.P. Sir. ✌🕊
