Our neighbour

Our neighbour’s house is very big, with lots of land around it.
Last summer he decided to knock it down, refurbish and bloody extend it.
He built it bigger than before. He saved on VAT and much more besides
And subtly moved the boundary, with brutal cunning and deceit.

We pointed out the wall we’d built, ran right along the boundary
And trees we’d planted further back allowed for growth away from that.
But he’d left no space along the length, now he’d show his neighbours only strength.
So how would he link the front and rear? His solution was annoyingly clear.

His garage opened back and front, but this was just a silly stunt.
He simply stole a piece of land, for easy access along this strand.
But this still was not enough for him, his football, tennis and his daily swim.
He said our garden was all his and we had no right to even exist.

He tore down our fences and with our hedges and trees gone,
Сame into our garden, dug up our flowerbeds and lawn.
He’s stolen our land and also our peace. Now all around are riot police.

We said, “This is war. You’re our neighbour! Why invade us, you bugger?”
But he replied, "You won't stop me, or bother me, You’re not even here."
How can we survive? Sue him? But that will take time and money.
We can only pray to God for peace, to the police or get a visa to leave.

He says we’re bad neighbours, that we’ve offended him in many ways,
But we never made trouble and noise, like his rabble and boys.
He says this not a war for either of us. He just wants to live quietly in peace,
As long as we let him stay and keep all the land that he’s already seized.

We too want peace and will fight to be free and show our neighbour the exit,
So that we can finally bloody live in peace!
Forward! To our Victory!
