O England a Lament
O England,what will become of thee
once the bastion of the free..
Now on all sides beset..betrayed
by a friend from across the sea
O England, what will become of you
a once fair land..now bereft of freedom
of truth to express ..views thereof
must in silence ..suppress
O England,where once was
democracy's seat ..now crushed
'neath naked ambition and greed
of its self styled .. enlightened elite
O England this aged poet,cries for you
subsumed as you are in the oligarchic EU !
Arise! once more..stand tall
Leave and ..begin anew
