brexit blues

Since when is decency a dirty word
Snide derision hastily fired at any hint of humanity or compassion
Hatreds stirred in the name of national pride, yes we’ve seen it all before
Slicked-back bully boys
Polishing up their manners
their deceits and flattery disguise vicious diktats and denouncements
Incite us to despise this kind, that kind, even our own kind
They despise us all just the same
