I was walking through the grey rainy streets, another melancholic day. Proud English flags hung up in the windows of council houses. What are we so proud of anyway? A country run on ignorance and blaming the minority, the government wonders why we have a problem with authority? So we will focus on the youth that are disengaged and abstaining from voting.  Don't mention those who are hungry, unemployed and hurting. Ssh, if we keep it quiet then maybe nobody will notice. Close your eyes while the darkness approaches.
