The Rural Resistance Poem by Christopher Tye

The Rural Resistance

The time has come to stand up to Westminster,
Hamlets and villages of England unite,
England's green and pleasant land's at stake.

Ruining of our once great countryside has to stop,
Uprisings are needed to regain our rights,
Running down and closing of our schools and post offices is going to stop,
All children should have a place in the heart of the community,
Let Westminster get their way schools will just be in soulless cities.

Resistance is the only way now,
Everybody fighting for every hedgerow,
Sleepy hamlet's awake and fight the good fight,
Insurrection to save this once great land,
Soon England will be just concrete and housing estates.

Twits in central government without a clue of the real world,
As the country falls apart from their mistakes,
No future for merry old England if they win,
Concrete wind turbines and Heathrow runways,
England's future with Westminster in control.
