Nick Trim Poet Rhyme

Repeats of History

Former British colonies on the news
there's people, there's power and there's abuse,
scenes in India seem eerily familiar
as authority beats up those inferior
those sticks and shields shown in a past era
locals beating up local people 
were the British really evil

Hong Kong has gone wrong,
keep fighting I say, stay strong,
scenes not seen under British rule,
when economies of these two flourished tall

Corrupt leadership in the USA
the very reason they got away,
a nation under rule of law,
let's see now the ruler fall,
through their English common law

Now Scotland seeks its independence
to us in England makes no difference
everyday Sturgeon a TV appearance 
so if leaving the UK sees her disappearance
there will be no English interference

and Brexit, we're leaving the EU,
remain go boo-hoo,
I say woo hoo
we are leaving the EU
and our Empire doesn't seem so bad too,
true
