Gail Lewis Poet Sonnet

Lost England

Oh poor England we lost it so slowly
You didnt notice till now, 
till now, how
Imagine the yellow brick road pure holy
Diamonds instead 
Pure brilliance shone but now gone
Showing the way dancing in the brightness
Not England 
No more tis so grey and dire
Like full of strangers lost on another shore 
Not wanting to show full colours anymore 
What to do what to do
Ask yourselves this
Shall it be down to some other soul
Tsk!
Today do you change what is gone that you miss
Replace it with your long gone past wish

Don't dare to change
Always the way in town
Come on its time to take this system down
