What Was Brexit Really About

I can’t help but notice Remain think Leave want to roll back the clock 
as if we could again rule the waves with a million ships in the dock 
they say we dream of an empire on which the sunshine never stops 
using this assumption they’ve invented just to mock

They live with this idea that a bigger EU is beneficial 
A theory I can see that in practice is unofficial 
as what we have are law makers not subject to the law 
weather correct or flawed they are all unaccountable 

Meaning that we vote for puppets disconnected from their cause 
waiting to receive direction from some unelected fools 
who work within a system budgeted with no rewards 
with loop holes easily corrupted and elite untouchables 

What’s the point in elected locals who listen to some far away vocals 
we gave political control to the colonies so the people made the calls 
because a bigger sphere of influence means one does what one ignores 
as a centralised government knows that one size don’t fit all 

You must control your population the same way you lock your doors 
to stop the overcrowding those doors connect with walls 
it’s not a racist action when it’s the one most logical 
and BREXIT was the only way to ensure ours is ours to rule 

Going where the taxi goes with wealth you have amassed 
yet you don’t drive or pave the roads you just follow the track 
where traffic lights and junctions appear random on the map 
as 27 others have agreed they should do that 

I don’t believe that politics is what Europe dearly needs 
it just needs interlinking ties existing mutually 
so everybody benefits without a governing body 
making sure we all have knowledge of our history!!
