THE GOAT
From land to sea in now quiet and mistful skys
The British empire once spread its wings so ever wide
From every corner of the world unveiled and let.
So no day on the Empire would the sun and moon ever set.
From Her old and contemporary cobbled streets in Rich Belgravia
To Her Flag left to die that once set on sea of the biggest navy.
Her empires ruling never ended and never forgotten
and kept in books like non fictions and the fantasy.
Her homeland sparse and wide; her farmland feeding its engine
Her roads date back to the Romans, to the celts, to the Vikings, and to the Saxons.
The cool breeze on a spring morning, to the winter cold and wistful sunset
From the Northern Unicorn, to the flyng St. George and to the mountainous Welsh Dragons.
O' Empire, vast and wide where would the world be without you
thy power and might to crush the will of the evil like a lion
and strike the serpent like a knight
Be in god's good will that thou shall not perish and in fact
The empire shall live on forever. Rule Britannia!

Excellent write
Oops. Just saw your page @Tony36 and saw that you're american. NO HATE AT ALL! I love your poems.
Thank you
Exploitation, slavery, a class system..........
Yes I know about about the triangle slave trade, the 3 million enslaved africans, the 9 trillion pounds stolen from India and the terrible conditions the British empire put on labour as a factor of production. I am just very patriotic and that's why I didn't include anything about those travesties. However, I am deeply sorry if you found this poem offensive.
Kind regards.
Nah - you go on. You have two totally undemanding supporters above who will no doubt fanatically support you in your attempts to restore the British Empire......
And to avoid any ambiguity, just know you will have no support from me.....
Question is: what made it great and is it falling from grace.
A quick google search will help you with that one
The king of AI.
Sure, but now they have BBC.
