Brexit Sonnet 11 - Co-Operative Action
Brexit Sonnet No.11
‘Co-operative Action’
The ozone hole, a once fearsome deadly foe,
Is retreating, shrinking day by day.
‘Effective co-operative action’ brings it low.
Is this fake or true, watcha say?
So a problem sans frontières is on the wane,
But another rises from creator’s list,
Just as dangerous, man made just the same.
Two ‘special relations’ now share common cyst.
Both conditions stem from self same source;
An apathetic body politic.
A body through which weary blood does course,
The patients not yet dead, but very sick.
So ‘co-operative action’, raise your many hands,
Breathe life, not death to freedom’s related lands.
