I held my breath taut
as she swayed on the knife edge
arms calming dipping, rising
dignified reslilience
I blew her my love and fell to sleep
as father turned on son
as daughter turned on mother
as neighbour turned on neighbour
as she fell
Rule Britannia?

Thanks for the comment Harry (and the typo Haha) it has felt generation against generation (at least that's what the polls are saying) but now more than ever we all need to stand together :)
Simon,
Concise and to the point.
I wondered if there might be a generational aftermath to it
all..But probably not (after all the young are going to inherit all the baby boomer`s money when they croak)
(By the way...typo in the title)

I can see that there might well be a generational aspect
to the EU vote. Those who were there originally and
were taken in may well have decided "enough" and have
taken themselves out.
