Thoughts about Great Britain leaving the EU, how it relates to the U.S., and many other countrys.

Great Britain's People Voted
By Franklin Price
6/24/2016

Great Britain's people voted
To leave the stifling EU
Many in the U.S.A.
Want to see what Trump can do

We're not the only country
Whose citizens are tired
Of having no control ourselves 
As the rich have kept us mired

It's obvious the super rich
Who control all every day
Think working class democracy 
Should never have a say

A big mistake the rich have made
Is to educate the poor
The more we know the more we want
Searching for an open door

When the door remains unopened
And we find what polling's for
We  understand by voting
We may open up that door

Needless to say, we're getting tired
Of selfishness and greed
No loyalty to country
And so many mouths to feed

The poor no longer ignorant
Can bring an educated coup
For the rich to keep some power
They must give a little too.
