Brexit Sonnet 30 - No Peace Gone Missing
Brexit Sonnet No. 30
‘No Peace Gone Missing’
We have a useless changing jigsaw game;
Its mutating, rotating pieces do problems pose.
No corners or edges to set within the frame,
The box, no fixed or constant picture shows.
A few weeks back our custom rules looked set,
And picture showed us Ireland ‘sans’ divide.
But now our North and South look not well met,
With pieces missing or just left on the side.
The picture changed to show what’s most in need,
For those whom power they most desire and crave.
The pieces changed by sleight of hand or deed,
The road to hell with their intentions pave.
So make Brexit ex, divorce this useless pain,
No puzzle, no border, no peace gone missing - Remain.
