Bartered Britannia
Dodgiest of States
Ruled by coterie
Of dodgy mates.
Treaties signed
To be broken,
Pledges ignored
As soon as spoken.
Offshore island,
Once of esteem,
Now existing
On past dreams.
Placid inhabitants
Desensitised,
Or, perhaps,
Lobotomised
When it comes
To the election game
Mindlessly voting for
More of the same.
