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

You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.

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?
