As the sun rises without the UK as part of the EU, I can't help but recall a poem I wrote a year ago.
I know you need
something to be proud of
and it hurts me
to ruin it for you
but my friend
what you did
years ago
was barge
into someone's home
called it your own
stole
destroyed
you came as a guest
went as a conqueror
you ruled
but never won hearts
two hundred years later
you gave me my home
and you still continue so
you gave home
to me on your land
and my another million
spin that globe
any nation that appears
you are home
for them
as you say
let bygones be bygones
you are finally a home
homes don't have an option
called Exit.
