Orders from the people!

Orders from the people!

We have held a ‘Referendum’ as we do, within this land,
A series of debates were held, so all could understand,
The choice was ours to make that day, on the 23rd of June,
And our voice was heard resounding, – ‘Get us OUT! and soon`’.

But some MP’s in Parliament, are prepared to disobey,
The mandate that we send them, on this historic day,
They think our voice is muted and not suited to their need,
And they will block our ‘exit’, by every dirty deed.

We have given an instruction, to every MP,
From every constituent, in their entirety,
There is no need to question, what we have said to you,
Your orders are quite simple, and you must see them through.

A vote was held, upon that day, a decision for to reach,
We have no more need for podiums, for poncy men to preach,
Now put your toys back in the pram and be both brave and bold,
And do what the mandate tells you now, – ‘DO WHAT YOU ARE TOLD!

Mick.

I am a 71 year old retired coal miner, who spent 30 years working underground. Having time on my hands, and in order to keep my brain exercised, I decided to try to write poetry and put down on paper some of my life experience, and my hopes, dreams and other thoughts. I also do a little gardening, but I am hopeless at housework. Much to my wife's displeasure.
