Exit Brexit

The temperament of blazing sun
Whilst fully aware of alarming floods
In a country I call home
The United Kingdom divided
By a political stance
Do you sense the perceived percentage?
The disproportionate amount who have no vote?
The cries for a Second Referendum
Are our crying voices being heard?
Even if shouted from the rooftops of protest
The choices being made by a few
In an unsteady, wavering parliament
Arguing aggressively like school children
In a ferociously competitive playground
The favourite steaming ahead bashfully
Without clear insight into the country’s current mood
For fear of losing face
To a decision once made
Born from lies and deceit
A Brexit party unearthed from frustration
I cannot understand why working together is not an option
I feel the unnerve when it comes to the EU
But I listen to Macron, to Merkel
Can we not change from within?
Start again
Wipe the slate clean
A blank canvas awaits my eye
With powers such as Russia, the US & China
Our we not isolating our vulnerable island further?
To respect the decision of the first outcome
Is like accepting a winner of a game who has chosen to cheat
Do we wish for those very cheats to run and rule our Britannia?
This Brexit is a sorry tale
Laughable on a global scale
The arrogance and defiance will leave you standing alone
The psychoanalysis of each and every one of you
Do you lead or do you follow?
I know what I do
But I know what you do too
Because I see a bull in a china shop
I see a climate emergency
I see an isolation
A conflict of language
Preventing our communication
To work together
Strive together
Fight together
With woe dear land this story is so old
A forgotten lesson besieged within our wounds of time
We carry our land like the trooping of the colour
Listen and learn from your fellow friend
Across a channel, an ocean, an island, a bridge
The sense of imbalance strikes so mighty
A fearful fright that’ll alarm you 10 years from now
Mark my words
I’ll hold your stare
Trust me, I’ve seen it with a startling glare
