Albion
Transient summers
Forbidden Lavender fields
Tough times symbolise the pouring of ales.
Manicured lawns
Cider drinking Saturdays
Routine discussions about the sun and rain.
Hijinx down the watering hole
The great unwashed congregating on Market Day
Smog penetrating the lungs
Forlorn eyes, social decay.
Leaders of austerity
Riddled with oppressive policies
The tedious endurement of the morning commute.
Sirens cut across West Minster
A quintessential rave anthem
Boxing Day sales
Sheer pandemonium.
Revelling in satire
And curtain twitching
Reading racists newspapers
Disenfranchised youth.
Icky dance floors with raging hormones
Breath heavy with hops and acrid tobacco.
Slut drops and winding waists
Ladies bathroom, evil eyes exchanged.
Sundays spent hanging
And Mondays depressed
Holy communions
Cladded in your best dress.
Suppressed thoughts
And baited breath
An Albion filled with oppression and dread.
