Fading Light
Sold out history
Sold out memory
Sold out pride
Sold out heritage
Sold out lives.
Mounting pressure, financial strife.
Making life harder for people who already live harder lives.
Putting faith in some weakened, flawed historic way of life.
Built upon slavery, invasion and lies.
Longing for the rebirth of some colonial, elitist, conceited rule of life.
Going backwards all the time. Imperialistic minds listening in the wind for the empires cries.
The spoilt petulant English child who’ll destroy a nation before swallowing pride.
