Accepted That - Poem by NAYYAR SHABBIR AHMAD

Celebrating the Queen's Golden Jubilee has meant that Britain
could shut itself down and indulge in four days of fun, oblivion
and an almost total adoration of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd.
Her long and eventful reign has been mostly dedicated to the
Service of her Nation

Now, the UK‘s back only to join the Wider World in wringing it's hands over the atrocities being meted out by the Assad regime in Syria
Carping on the sidelines while the EU tries to deal with the Euro
Looking the other way as the USA patrols Pakistan's Borders with unmanned drones.......And, on and on

Accepted that, Britain is -now - only a ‘part' player
