Referendum

The battle of wits who’s quickest to the target The Referendum becomes our battling ground, To silence the tongues that vanity took apart. Saying little or nothing and have no command. By force of nerves all generals pitted and plotted Referendum vote drummed out the matted voices, Tweets on either side of the house in cyber-chatted, Europe left with misfits and the approving choices. The referendum matter leads our nation into battle Conquering minds gallop in haste to beat off time, Waiting around for baited fines of further tittle-tattle, Make allowance for doubting putting firms far behind. Bows in the left hand; poison arrows fight in the right, A momentum pursuing no safer place but heaven, Parliament eyes have it, smart sorties smitten by night, Watch the big nations squabble for refuge mitigation. Then Europe and the people that’s in it can dream, But every nightmare release the creepy dark shadows, Frighten fools, using outdated tools for a referendum, Keeping our identity to chase after the distant rainbows. Could the appeasing bung taken worth smarter living? Begin to outrun the distances of our silent conscience Before looking back over on our humble beginning With Protestants breathing the ambiance of silence.

A rewarding experience to read your poem...In my country, after Dictatorship, at Referendum, I saw a poster with the same character in different postures, positions and status (about twenty):as cowboy, ex-policemen-miner, skin head dancer, painter with mustache, worker in blue clothes, clown playing the violin, nurse with green scarf, majorette dancing, old woman with deep wrinkles, leggy blond woman, punk farmer etc. And below: Who will you vote with? We experienced the liberty.
