Charlie Kirk shot dead
What terrible news to hear!
British deadpan face

And when my mother died, the neighbours called
to show their sympathy, and thus revealing
to be generous in poverty, appalled
at Britain's Fascist front appealing
to the nation's post-war boom of kids
to usher in a wave of Backing Britain pride
and handing out a shiny badge amidst
the racist rhetoric of Enoch Powell's side.
During the war she'd laboured long and hard
in Tyneside factories to aid the fight
and make munitions for Allied men to guard
our shores against the threat of Axis might.
She would be saddened now to find another rise
in xenophobic Saint George flags from lampposts flied.
