John Thorkild Ellison - ENGLAND ISN'T ENGLAND

Why go to war <br />When England isn't England any more? <br /> <br />I don't like to complain <br />Or say those soldiers died in vain, <br />Who died for us before; <br /> <br />Each hero turning in his grave <br />Because we didn't save <br />The honour he was fighting for! <br /> <br />Gone to the dogs, <br />Gone to the swine and hogs, <br />Who in their greed and rage <br />Are now Our Leaders in this Plastic Age; <br /> <br />Dishonouring those years, <br />Laughing at our fears, <br />Promoting their careers, <br />Devaluing the coinage of our heroes' tears; <br /> <br />Oh no, don't go to war, <br />England isn't England anymore!<br /><br />John Thorkild Ellison<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem..../england-isn-t-engla
