Time to Think

In the beginning, the land was blue

The Nobles could advise

The Kings might do

If they felt it right…….

For them

Kingly abuse got out of hand

The nation made another plan

The Noble ranks and those with land

Could now control the Kings

The Landed Gentry, to gain their due

Gave the vote a different hue

Alternating colours upon the mast

Blue and yellow now faced the tasks

Black smoke rising into the sky

Profits growing into uncontrolled hands

The Workers began to ask them why?

No votes for them, time to make a stand

Red Flag flying, the people declare

We have no vote, that is not fair

Give us now, our human right

To have a say on our laws and rights

The Halls of Talk, Blue, Yellow-and Red

Recognising the missing many

Who needed votes but had not any

Red and Yellow-making  sure

All should have the vote

From the trenches, coming home

No New World there to greet

A British Legion was now made

BAN THEM! Came the voice of Blue

Another War, Survivors return

Reds now in control

Bringing in the Welfare State

The Blues all voted NO
