What has happened to Britain?
I've just read the following poem and wondered what some of our site members think of it. Any responses?
I vow to thee my country,
the things despised by Blair,
Freedom, truth, integrity,
those virtues now so rare.
We live in times of twists and lies,
of government by spin,
Where the greatest crime for citizens
is love of kith and kin.
Where taxes keep on rising
for decent, law- abiding folk.
Where sovereignty is vanishing
under Brussels' heavy yoke.
All hail to thee, oh Tony,
Prime Minister divine,
Creator of New Labour
and the Britain of our time.
We dare not ask the questions
that help us to reflect
How the country lost its soul
to what's politically correct.
We're becoming a nation broken,
our spirit ever weaker,
Held to ransom by burglar, thug
and asylum seeker.
They tell us there's more money
for the school and NHS,
But with those bureaucrats to pay
the systems still a mess.
In anarchic modern Britain,
violence rules the street;
The bobby who used to keep us safe
has made a tactical retreat.
Terrorists are in our midst,
they have us in their sights,
But the Government's priority
is to protect their human rights.
But there was another country,
that flourished long ago,
A Britain that was proud and free,
one you wouldn't know.
It was a gentle nation,
its people brave and bright,
A country that knew its worth
and had the will to fight,
To preserve its own culture,
that stood for what was best,
In this green and pleasant land,
knowing it was best
