What an unfree newspaper writes 

According to a leading English newspaper
the alarm is the upcoming election 
will labor be back in power
like that would be different from now
England (not Britain) is meddling in the war
in Ukraine, which is not of her concern
England, which had once been a colonial power 
has a long tradition in military tradition 
going to war against the reluctant masses 
this since the cousin of Queen Victoria's cousin 
was shot by the communists
and therefore crossing the red line
which is historical 
England is a small, but the Nobel classes are a baggage 
of arrogance, they won, we  are told about
one the last war.
No, that England is a second-rate military
might they not help but think they are relevant
Great English writers were at odds 
with the upper classes hanging on to violence
but habits die hard
the noble call to arms by the noble
 represented by a dusty kingdom is still
 there, it is a call that can't  
be resisted, we are still a great nation 
not for us to be Holland
