Brexit Sonnet No. 70 – ‘The Sugar in the Tea’

He said: ‘We are here because you were there,
You are the sugar, the sugar at the bottom
Of the English cup of tea’. So don’t despair,
We fight with you for justice not gone rotten.
He said: ‘We are here because you were there.’
You are the cream on that English tea time scone.
We fight with you for justice fair and square,
And from the weasel words – actions to be shown.
He said: ‘We are here because you were there.’
From rushing wind of callous spite and bile,
Blown up by Brexit plus shocking lack of care,
You’ve been ‘stablished guilty with no trial.
We are here, and from this we must retreat,
Our nation, our people’s lives …..no more to cheat.
