When Elizabeth Took The Throne

When Elizabeth took the throne
Just as the sun had set
The British Empire had no regrets
They had amassed the wealth
Stolen and destroyed people’s health
Plundered and blundered
Demoralized, chastised, despised and
authorized the theft and death of many
Never giving back a British penny
The sun had set
The wealth was plenty
When Elizabeth took the throne
Third world nation’s could simply groan
Because the British Empire had left them prone
When Elizabeth took the throne
