Poem

We no longer own an empire
We no longer rule the waves
We rarely show the Dunkirk spirit
We no longer free the slaves

We are not the world's bold policeman
With the strength to control with will
The turbulent forces surround us
And this earth does not stand still

We can't stand in isolation
No matter how splendid the idea might be
We'd drown in a sea of troubles
That's not a choice to me

Our own trade area and the commonwealth
We tried all that before
In more certain times, with loyal friends
Then turned to Europe to level the score

And no, it isn't perfect
Democracy's a weak and feeble elf
Swamped by bureaucratic chatter
But is the answer to talk to oneself?

If control of immigration
and sovereignty is the aim
Then can we really trust our own politicians
To improve the rules of the game?

Too many questions are thrown their way
For any political force
To cope with needs of humanity
And tackle each problem at source

There are gaps to be plugged if we stay inside
Sensible arguments to be begun
But 60 years of peace tell me
Many heads can be better than one

The seas of the future look choppy
Unseen dangers may lurk therein
So I'm choosing a ship, not a dinghy
I'm voting for staying in
