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!!
