it’s not than england’s insane
not at all

but the history
so many
living the lives
of those
before they were born
the country’s senile
drooling with unremembered
memories

it shouldn’t be my england
that allows itself
to be controlled by fear
of difference
yet all the references
to immigrants
are that

cowardice
is not
good policy

welcome back
to the 1930s
it’s embarrassing
england
you’re embarrassing
