Poem about home

This Is My England

My little space of tranquility has shaken

Beneath the earthquakes by corruption.

We are black and white, and everything in between.

This is my home. This is my England.

Saturday nights are always epic

Weather your out in the clubs

Or curled up to a take-away and the TV

This is my home. This is my England.

Friendships form and friendships break.

Some shatter and some fade away.

United and seperated by radical loonies.

This is my home. This is my England.

We come together for the good and the bad.

We bake cakes and make tea to add a smile

On our neighbours faces.

This is my home. This is my England.

We have many cultures condensed into one place.

We build commnities and become one family.

We shine together and celebrate achievements

This is my home. This is my England.

We’ve been invaded and we’ve been bullied.

We don’t let that stop us from enjoying life,

And enjoying life in our own way.

This is my home. This is my England.
