Bonfire night

5th of November Bonfire night Why is it we remember Guy fawkes set it alight 5th of November Anti establishmentarian Parliament a burning ember Observance of many puritans A plot was foiled To blow up house of Lords Guy fawkes plan spoiled With dynamite and swords Nowadays celebrated by a bonfire The release of fireworks Pay homage to the people's sire I think it's berserk Not a party pooper Loud bangs scare this writer Also animals can scatter Guy fawkes was mad as a hatter His attempt to overthrow was thwarted Stood by dynamite he was caught Sentenced to death and live in the tower That's what happen if you go against power Nothing really has changed We're still locked up in chains Speak out or scream and shout You will be banned or taken out No more posting on social media You end up arrested for schizophrenia The world nowadays hazy gone crazy Smoke screens and lies make it hazy Back to topic Guy fawkes Never allowed to enter talks He wasn't happy with the Lords So got his rebels and drew thier swords
