THE world has big increasing problems
And we’re being asked to vote again;
All we have is the paltry choice
Of whether we choose to leave or remain.
We need a different kind of Europe
With a flexible bureaucracy;
I’d rescue Greece from persecution
And bring in more democracy.
I’d vote for a confederation
Of self-governing separate nations;
I’d bring in Russia and its allies
And reduce the power of corporations.
The current options aren’t appealing.
Which mistake would be the greater?
Without some better things on offer
I might decide to spoil my paper.
