This thoroughly meaningless dirge as a supposed national anthem that just won’t go away!

 
By Stanley Collymore

How can anybody realistically
feel a natural empathy with
far less so, a supposedly
genuinely rock solid and truly patriotic
solidarity with the country, which they
were born in, and are still essentially
living in; when this National Anthem
which they’ve routinely, and literally
distinctly quite repetitively from the
moment they were actually bairns
having it constantly and generally
quite assiduously, rammed down
their throats; keep on constantly
hearing at each major occasion
and manifestly, are themselves
actually unthinkingly, expected
to quite excitedly participate in
but firmly though emphatically
simply doesn't make even the
slightest mention at all of any
people, who're obviously like
them, nor for that matter any
reference at all of their clear
and very natural aspirations
as a proud nation of people.
or queerly the country itself.

A supposed National Anthem
which is effectively a dirge
basically exhorting the
serfs and citizens of Britain to actually
rather enthusiastically and discernibly
also equally emphatically eulogize an
hereditary simply unelected monarch
and literally, that person’s own direct
family members and no one else, as
if the actual entirety of the UK's very
diverse, and wide spread population
doesn’t basically matter one bit and
the sole individuals who actually do
are those privileged ones that have
forged this naturally effective, dung
heap and essentially on which they
self-entitled, and rather predictably
overjoyed, smugly and wealthily sit.

Author's Remarks:
Nothing like being an enthusiastically delighted, fawning  and food bank recipient in 21st Century Britain; while those you sycophantically brownnose to flaunt their wealth at you - which of course you played some part in creating as you do maintain them in the style to which they've become used to through your taxes - yet they don't even have the common decency to ensure the country has a proper National Anthem which reflects something about itself and the people who live here, as most adult nations globally do with their own grown up populations. But seeing how stupid you are, why not have in addition to your genuflecting to them, likewise have a dirge, for that's what it actually is, that emphatically mentions only them.
