brexit didn't actually for the populist reason
that are cited all the time -
                 the story becomes clearer with
a date... 2004...
                     suddenly the panic struck
the opulent countries...
            when a people with a work ethic
that is only second to german
came, singing the mantra:
   praca uszlachetnia -
                       work ennobles -
  arbeit veredein...
              you can watch an lefty media outlet
and find how the english people feared
being outsourced more than being
culturally defeated by former colonial
satellites...
                    considering how the same
people have the maxim:
        no work is demeaning -
         nein arbeit ist erniedrigend -
i still remember the child who wanted
to be a bus driver,
   the teenager who wanted to work
in a music shop,
     or the lesser man who wanted to become
a vet...
                       there's also the ethic
of: go in, do your ****, get out...
     the english find a synonym in working
their excessive hours as a need
to work and socialise...
             talking on the job is the most
precious ethos of the english working day...
and the english are prone to
      revel in workaholic character...
        not all, but there is a class of them
that do... is it even worth
  mention the glaring example
      of the comedy sitcom the office?
you could say it's sad than the south eastern
construction industry is in a dire
of natives... but then again so few natives
actually work the construction industry...
maybe that is an exaggeration -
             but there came a fear in 2004
that... no one "pities" economic migration...
yet there's a freedom within trading
goods that doesn't seem to bother people
seeing 90% of goods with the tag
         MADE IN CHINA...
                             which seems like reverse
migration of sorts...
          former job posts have emigrated
to cha cha cha land...
                  not because they wanted to,
but because they were forced to -
       it's hardly a reason to blame the migrants
from. say, bulgaria,
who act as cheap labourers,
   when... wasn't capitalism focusing on
competition?
                so first blame the people,
then the economic system,
  or rather embrace the economic system
and celebrate competition but blame
the competitors... ugh...
   this is such a ******* poem...
i can't believe i even wrote it...
              if it wasn't for the maxims
it wouldn't be here...
                        then again, maybe it should,
since my internal narrative has
just become custard.
    it happened because the english started
to become outsourced in work...
but now they can't be bothered to do the work...
it's not being "outsourced" culturally -
these hard grit ******* have merged -
the problem is being outsourced from work...
and the only protection against any lack
of tact, is that little body of water,
known as the english channel...
            but **** me... this story is stretching
out so much that it feels like less
a victory and more like shackles
           that hasn't precipitated into anything
resembling the celebration of nationhood...
   23 years of my 31 of my "career" in this world
and i'm literally gobsmacked...
   how long did it take for the soviet
union to collapse?
                     certainly not this long.
