Brexiad

They dished out suffering for all of us.
An EU citizen in the UK:
not rich enough, a queue jumper, it seems.
Irish? You´ll get your problem border back.
A UK citizen in the EU
(I´m one of those) handed uncertainty.
My vote is gone. I´ll probably naturalise.
Hundreds to get back rights they took away.
My son? Things are a little worse for him.
Free travel, education, work all hang
in the balance. Everything´s closed down.
Erasmus now won´t touch a British kid.
Gibraltar? That´s another spot they´ve trashed.
Another border point. More to arrange.
Nothing was thought about before all this.
The selfish Brexit of the old alt right,
betting on currency, making a buck
destroying rights and lives of other men.
