People harp on about the past

But it is never made to last,

Evolution is progression

But many want to live in regression,

Yes times past were happy days

The sun always shone we often say,

Truth is that was not the way

Yes we used to go out and play,

But now the bogeyman is more known

But he was always there all along,

It’s just now they’ve less places to hide

Back in the day they walked without fear,

Children were still abused here,

It didn’t start at the onset of migration

It’s always been a disease in every nation,

People still work, and some still shirked

It was not migration that stole their work,

Back in the day we hated fascists

Today they make out to be nationalists,

But they are just hateful, insecure types

Blaming others for their failings but we are wise,

We see through their racism and lies,

My dad and grandad fought to defeat these types

So don’t make out like we’ve lost something here,

There was always a good reason to fear,

But it was materialism that caused division that is clear

It destroyed communities and the joyful years,

Now jealousy and envy is now so rife

And blaming it on people that are not white,

Is the argument of the intellectually bereft,

And trust me I will fight fascism and racism until my last dying breath.
