I Live In England

I live in England My country is not in Google No one recognises the name I go under United Kingdom And no one can explain I live in the green and pleasant land Rule Britannia and god save the king But it’s done underhand When I look there is nothing France, Germany, Italy and Spain Are all allowed to use their name Mention England the barriers raise I am as English it’s not a phase My country is England I live on my land I am not Great Britain Or UK so I say out loud I live in England It’s like a swear word I have never harmed anyone This name BAN is absurd.

England never appears when you try to buy online. I hope this discrimination follows Russia. Thanks for reading. Dave

"This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England." Richard III, Shakespeare. You are not alone, David:) A very cool poem!

Thank you, for sharing your heartfelt love for your country, in such a well crafted poem. I value your passion, and I support you, as a patriot from America, experiencing similar struggles.
