The Morning After:
Britain’s Referendum To Leave The European Union
PRITAM SINGH
Why I have the eerie feeling
that we are cut-off?
Why I fear the celebrations next door?
The sun will still shine
The trees will still dance
The birds will still sing
There will still be rainbows
like the one I saw last week over my neighbour's house
I love the rainbows
I love the handshakes
I love kisses and hugs
There will still be love
Love never ends

A disunited, broken Britain. Self inflicted, unintended wounds that will long fester. Go back in history and you see Britain presiding over and carving up nations and nationalities on a map. Britain's folly littered the world with blood-letting, carnage and broken dreams of nationhood.
