This thoroughly meaningless dirge as a supposed national anthem that just won’t go away!

By Stanley Collymore

How can anybody realistically 

feel a natural empathy with 

far less so, a supposedly 

genuinely rock solid and truly patriotic 

solidarity with the country, which they 

were born in, and are still essentially 

living in; when this National Anthem 

which they’ve routinely, and literally 

distinctly quite repetitively from the 

moment they were actually bairns

having it constantly and generally 

quite assiduously, rammed down 

their throats; keep on constantly 

hearing at each major occasion 

and manifestly, are themselves 

actually unthinkingly, expected 

to quite excitedly participate in 

but firmly though emphatically 

simply doesn't make even the 

slightest mention at all of any 

people, who're obviously like 

them, nor for that matter any 

reference at all of their clear 

and very natural aspirations 

as a proud nation of people. 

or queerly the country itself. 

A supposed National Anthem

which is effectively a dirge 

basically exhorting the 

serfs and citizens of Britain to actually 

rather enthusiastically and discernibly 

also equally emphatically eulogize an 

hereditary simply unelected monarch 

and literally, that person’s own direct 

family members and no one else, as 

if the actual entirety of the UK's very 

diverse, and wide spread population 

doesn’t basically matter one bit and 

the sole individuals who actually do 

are those privileged ones that have 

forged this naturally effective, dung 

heap and essentially on which they 

self-entitled, and rather predictably 

overjoyed, smugly and wealthily sit.

Author's Remarks:

Nothing like being an enthusiastically delighted, fawning  and food bank recipient in 21st Century Britain; while those you sycophantically brownnose to flaunt their wealth at you - which of course you played some part in creating as you do maintain them in the style to which they've become used to through your taxes - yet they don't even have the common decency to ensure the country has a proper National Anthem which reflects something about itself and the people who live here, as most adult nations globally do with their own grown up populations. But seeing how stupid you are, why not have in addition to your genuflecting to them, likewise have a dirge, for that's what it actually is, that emphatically mentions only them.
