Whats Great About Britain

Great Britain ! What is actually Great about Britain ? Is it our overriding sense of Virtue ? How we feel it is our God given right to criticize ? Or present our way of life and values to aspire to ? Who made us the Referee's of the World ? Have any of them put a mirror up to us ? Because I have and its far from pretty ! Let me write you an impartial little ditty Based on the average day in the life of the ordinary citizen Hopefully based on actual factual events If you live in any City much like Liverpool Young and go to a comprehensive school The students are no longer fooled into thinking That good grades lead to a good job some day That is why they are seduced into a life of crime If they wish to socially climb And the legal system only serves to propergates this notion As it is biased towards the criminals not there victim's It is a hopelessly corrupt system For when you are charged as a minor You get a slap on your wrist And a stern telling off saying please dont do it again Children doing the bidding for wretched Men And our so called Politicians pretend to be stone deaf So there constituents stop hounding them to death Ask stop asking them What are they actually doing That will in anyway make there circumstances any better What is the point writing a letter or signing a petition Or marching from daylight to dark When apathy begins with every thought From putting food on the table to being able To expressing the fundamental right of free speech If anyone is in doubt the meek shall inherit the earth Spend a life in the day not in the countryside But rather take a bus ride Out of the bright lights of the big city And the view is not so rosy or pretty If you wish to hold a placard or choose to march Would it not be better for you to place your wrath upon Lest we never forget On repaying the debt on the fallen soldiers of 2 World Wars On making Britain a fitting resting place A place worthy of them dying for There sacrifice and there memory is the only thing worthy of fighting for And if you remember or take nothing else from this This Britian we slight is where and what they actually fought for And all they asked for in return Was for us to cherish and look after it As much as they did Ask not what your country can do for you But what you can do to be worthy of it And its fallen hero's
