Lacrimosa Dies

So, this Brexit thing!
Is it a show of light and magic? 
Does it fly and perform acrobatics?
Does it perform?
Does it sing?

So, this Brexit thing!
Does it make their lives any better?
Does it feed the homeless and give 
them shelter?
Does it fill you with pride to say it, or 
does it sting?

So, this Brexit thing!
Does it rip apart a family? 
Does it make you very angry?
Does it make you feel lonely?
Did you just give in?

So, this Brexit thing!
Do you feel the hatred rising?
Do you see the mindset changing?
Do you feel your country no longer 
wants you and your kin?

So, this Brexit thing!
Do we carry on regardless?
Feel the cold more keen and think 
in darkness, do we understand what 
we have lost so it could win?
