BRITAIN

Britain
 Why did they fight for our freedom of speech? 
when we as a nation are afraid to speak 
Led by a government that’s corrupt and weak 
the future for our children looks dark and bleak.
 
What’s happened to this great nation of ours?
Once so powerful, 
now it’s us who carry the scars
more concerned with our image and fancy cars
Then protecting young defenceless children from the countless grooming gangs and  peadophiles, 
The police and  MPS are to scared to charge.


Young British men fighting for twisted Islamic authors,
sharpening their knives to behead innocent news reporters,
it’s time for the government to stand up and end these slaughters, 
before more men don’t return home, to their sons wives or daughters,
murderers and rapists infiltrating our borders, hiding behind a smile with no care for our orders.

We're no longer a nation that prides itself on earning,
cashing in our next giro cheque seems more concerning 

when’s the system going to stop giving, and start learning or 
will it take another Philpott to leave his kids burning? 

A nation of scroungers has become the impression, 
with a work shy attitude and a Jeremy Kyle obsession,
happy for you to work to pay for their homes and  possessions, 
while there’s soldiers  left homeless in a state of depression. 

When will there be justice for the victims of all these terror attacks? 
we shouldn’t have to walk the streets looking over our backs,

The victims of Grenfell deserve more respect,
but with the government holding their own enquires what do you expect ?

It’s time for us to unite and end this frustration,
because after all they fought to keep this a great British nation, 
it’s not about race, sexuality or religion 
we’re all one people a part of one creation,
