The History of Human Vice

 

The Brexiteers have blocked from view

Why we should stay in the EU

Which is that a Higher Court of Peers

Can clip the wings of profiteers

Of human shame

Who’d otherwise be free from the blame

Of comforting those regimes

Who use every heinous means

To strip human rights at their very seams

Or downgrade international compassion

As if it was a card to ration

Or appeasing megalomaniacs

Who make all criticism a criminal act

Or succouring Merchants of Misery

In banks, conglomerates and military

 

The history of human vice has shown

Little virtue comes from going it alone
