A National Malaise / An International Disgrace


    Our Prime Minister gave a speech this morning


    And what a speech it was.


    It had assonance and sibilance and never mind the dissonance


    This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.


    Slowly growing in your mind.


    For its craven, crass and cruel enough


    To feel like some kind of test.


    But the liar says he''s not lying


    For lying''s what liars do best.


    He spoke of British values, to which I offer this rejoint


    Real values don''t come with a pound sign and decimal point.


    I live in a nation the world has rightly left behind


    When was it we forgot the second half of humankind?
