Don't fight for England anymore, <br />Don't fight for the chaps at the corner store, <br />Just go back home and close the door <br />'Cos England isn't England anymore. <br /> <br />Don't boast you're British, they'll deplore <br />Your ancestry and what is more <br />They'll kick you out, show you the door <br />'Cos England isn't England anymore. <br /> <br />They'll tell you you are just like them, <br />They'll laugh at you and then condemn <br />Your Anglo-Saxon attitude <br />And tell you it is very crude. <br /> <br />Don't blame them, they don't understand <br />Devotion to a fatherland: <br />They're here to make the very most <br />Of everything that you have lost. <br /> <br />(The cunning reader may detect <br />I'm not 'politically correct', <br />Well that is true - that's why I choose <br />To sing these PATRIOTIC blues! !)<br /><br />John Thorkild Ellison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-war-hero-s-lament/
