Say NO To The European Union (EU)

I wrote this in view of the June 4th European Parliamentary Election.

Campaign for an independent Britain,

Without it we are smitten,

Our people still defy,

That European lie,

 

National Identities are at risk,

On the brink of a catalyst,

European laws are flawed,

Save us from Brussel's jaws,

 

Without a doubt,

We would be BETTER OFF OUT.

Author's Note

This short poem is direct and defiant. It is intended to make a powerful statement, more than anything else. If YOU happen to live in the UK - please support the ongoing campaign for a national referendum regarding this issue! (Amongst those involved in the campaign, is Jon Gaunt (who writes for The Independent newspaper).

Hmm. I have to say, I don't really understand much about the subject of this poem, but I do hope it helps in your campaign. It's obvious you feel strong about it, and from what I understand about remaining an independent country, I would probably concur...

[Marie Harrison]

This is a powerful poem. I have no alliance or opinion on the subject, but I did enjoy the directness of your poem.

The goverment is naught but a permentaly corrupt system ruled by dictators with a power hungry craze.
I like the poem very much it reflects our need for decent freedom and the wrong doings this road would place us in.
A well writtien piece that i well injjoyed reading

This reflects the majority of people think in the ik but we are governed by a minority party who has fallen out of favour with the electorate and who's powers are themselves diminishing via brussels, the only thing good about brussels apart from it's medieval centre is all of the pubs and different versions of STELLA ARTOIS i'm with you "get the hell out" although it might mean getting in to bed with america more significantly in terms of finance and i am not happy about that after the awful mess they have left the world in it's true what they say (america sneezes and we catch a cold) AS FOR YOUR POEM THE WORDS FLOWED EFFORTLESSLY OFF THE PAGE AN INSPIRED PIECE OF WRITING

I really like the rhymes in the writing.
and the poem were really good, and I really like the two last lines:
"Without a doubt, We would be BETTER OFF OUT." they are really great :)
thanks for sharing.

One word... UKIP!!!

Agree with every point you've made. Just because it works on the continent doesn't mean it will work here. That guy in Brussels needs a reality check.

I'm also in agreement with C. I can see both sides of it, but I'm sick of being referred to as 'European' (I'm bloody English or British!) and if we did embrace full on European culture, we would be abandoning our own identity. I'll send you a rant in a message. I'll no doubt piss people off with my other thoughts.

Great piece, good use of rhyme.

It's too dangerous for Planet Earth to merge into several single powers, eventually emerging as a single continent. I feel trapped enough here as it is.

You know the Powers That Be are using the EU as a shield for the ID scheme though, right? The UK could refuse but they've embraced it from the start.

I hate how inevitable it all feels...

Nice use of rhyming couplets to state your feelings strongly.
