    You British plundered half the world for your own profit. Let’s not pass it off as the Age of Enlightenment.

    We are prisoners of the world’s demented sink.
    The soft enchantments of our years of innocence
    Are harvested by accredited experience
    Our fondest memories soon turn to poison
    And only oblivion remains in season.
