Please Can I have a Refund?

Please turn the clock back, the hands of time
I’ve had enough, I draw the line.
Take me back to when life was living
Family mattered, gender a given.
No manners, no morals, no style, no class
Just a race to the bottom, now
Equality en masse!
Everyone’s a victim, woke is the key
No thought for others, it’s all about me.
Religion or colour?  Another reason to hate
In a world of dictators, is it just too late?
Britain is done for with Labour in charge
No grasp of the truth, just multiple lies.
Starmer’s agenda has free speech in the bin
Our culture erased as the migrants pour in.
Still, the masses are brainwashed
Read brain-dead, to boot
Who’s left, now, to rally
To challenge; ‘silence’ the mute?
Control, comply, keep taking the pills
Head down, it’s easy, no need to live …
But there IS, and I remember
A world which simply cared
When people were individuals
Before apathy spawned sheep.
When the deserving were rewarded
When merit was the key
When ‘No man is an island’
Was attributed to John Donne, the poet
Not Jon Bon Jovi!
Alas, times they have a-changed
But I want to go back
Can I please have a refund
And get off at the next stop?
