Your England

You walk out of a house  
It is emblazoned with a flag  
St Georges red cross on shimmering Rayon  
(Even though the Euro's finished weeks ago)  
You were waved off by a girl  
dressed in the latest from JD Sports  
Hoop earrings the size of Frisbees  
A fag coquettishly stuck to a dry cracked lip  
Snotty crying child perched on her hip  
 
You are proud to be 'English' - or so you say  
Yet, when your 'trophy dog' shits a steamer  
Do you stoop to pick it up? Do you fuck!  
Your walk punctuated by regular gob-lets of phlegm  
snorted up through your nose and onto the street  
Defiling the very place you say you are proud of  
You toss an empty fag packet on the floor  
Plenty more where that came from come 'pay day'  
But you have never worked a day in your life  
Not your fault - you slipped through the net  
The system somehow failed you  
 
Proud you are also of your flat screen TV  
Liberated from Curry's in the summer riots  
On which you watch Jeremy Kyle and 'No Win No Fee' ads  
The 'get rich scheme' for the young unemployed  
God forbid you would watch BBC4 or the Arts Channel!  
Everything is black and white in your World!  
Literally it seems! The reason for this country's decline  
is its liberal immigration policy. Your opinion but words are mine!  
"Too many Rumanians [sic] taking our jobs"  
"Too many Rag Heads on the streets", you say  
Yet you speak with a fake patois?  
You say you are proud to be English  
But should England be proud of you?  
 
But it is OK for me to sneer.  
I dragged myself out of that life, got an education  
And through that education, began to see the flaws  
The flaws that made this once great nation a laughing stock  
The peer pressure we all feel at school to 'don't be a swat'  
Otherwise be picked on throughout your school-life!  
Do you know what we need to fix this shit?  
The simple realisation that knowledge is power  
and knowledge has the power to change...  
Ignorance is the enemy, not the Muslims!
