Welcome to a vision of Hell,

an image in the public gaze

of the country with its reputation

for fair play and stance against fascism

and all things abhorrent, a country

that stood firm against the most evil man

and the tidal wave of black and to whom

decency for the most part was as inherent

as a love for a cup of tea at four in the afternoon,

and now is caught in the mire of selfish gain

offered by a weasel to a cornered mouse.
