Theresa May resigns her position,
Did she pull us back from a massive collision?
By the time Britain woke up, to the oncoming onslaught
An iceberg was encroaching
And the laws of Albina, were disposing
A decade ago, Britain was already dying
And a woman took hold of the helm,
The greed of the ‘fat cats’, had begun to govern our sovereign realm
To and fro in her wayward ship, thrusting amidst the crashing swells
A steadfast woman
Sounded Britain’s alarm bells
All the parties had their say; not one could agree with May
She ducked and dived
To protect the ‘mother;’
She understood sovereignty, as the bones of the Magna Carta
Were born out of the same kind of greed
We see spreading within the EEC
When 200 and something laws, are needed to govern a lampshade
What hope do humans have?
She played Britain’s hand, despite the ones who buried their heads in the sand
Britain has been there and done that
Which is how she recognised
The bureaucratic trap
Who rule us from their Ivory towers in Brussels
But Theresa May flexed some British muscle;
Not once deterred by her diabetes
She stood strong against
The endless treaties
That were ripped up and thrown out
And each time she went back to the drawing board
The minions still cowered!
The covenant she made, she will take to her grave
The heroine’s journey, like Joan of Arc
Will come to light, only with much hindsight
A man will be exalted, unless he’s a rapist
A woman will be holy, if she lives in renunciation
But neither of these roles, relieve us our constant craving,
Farewell to a brave woman,
Who embodied the constitution she fought so hard to protect
After all, she did it because of Britain’s subjects!
When the waters calm, and they will,
I pray the flowers of May
Come fragrantly to us in the new clay
