AFTER THE UK
Shreds of the UK
flapping
in the downturn,
decayed
Britain
broken
into smithereens.
No
Kingdom now,
no
United State.
We
are
citizens
with
no obligation
to
genuflect
in
front of an overstuffed Queen.
Get
the UK out of your system,
no
going back.
We
take the power
to
rule ourselves,
make
community,
build
our own spaces.
Break
the
hegemony
of
dead parties,
lifeless
institutions,
let
debate flower,
conflicting
views rage.
We
want to breathe
and
strip away
executive
power,
share
the
beauty and culture
of
these islands
around.
Make
good things,
good
love.
Empower
ourselves
with
an autonomous freedom
in
a new England,
in
a new Europe,
in
a New World
of
real ownership
and
delicate emotion.
KEITH
ARMSTRONG
