The Declaration of Independence

A Poem by John Alexander McFadyen

The Declaration of Independence

Bute House today

hears historic words,

as dearly departed friends lick their sorry

Westminster wounds

and fight amongst themselves.

Bruce would be so proud

that an army so small

could still harry and confuse

the enemy,

sending proud Edwards

to their fate.

But hold!

Amongst us are traitors.

Those who took the Queen's shilling,

sold us into Darien disaster,

and urged us into servitude

under a crown of self-centred

anglophile, capitalist gluttony.

Brown and Darling

are the enemy

of The Kingdom of Scotland.

Their forked tongues

in polished BBC brogue,

stab like dirks

into the very flesh

of true Scots.
