Sweaty Englishmen

(Inspired by CBC “Q” broadcast March 14, 2023)

c.  Alexander Nichols 2023 

You ignore

The lies…

As you succeed 

The lines that your

Fathers crossed

Live in Hell

It’s believed

The reckless

The damned

And the angelic too

Are covered in blood

Now it’s down to you

How many lives

Did they hack at the knee?

Despite all their pleas to

“please spare me”

The rage and the right

You all shout and claim

Must never, no ever

Be claimed again

You self-entitled

Eng-lish-men

Drink your brandy

A cigar once again

Demented deities one and all

You’ll all die you mortals

You’re all going to fall

Eng-lish-men

You know whence you came

You’re Russian and Nordic 

And Irish and lame 

You know you are dead

but you fight on instead

You’ll die on your crosses 

Again and again

You’re out of time now

You Sweaty Englishmen…
