#悔脱欧 为英国脱欧写首诗

To be in the European Union, or not to be? That was the question.
 
留欧,还是脱欧?这是一个问题。
 
After the United Kingdom voted on Thursday to leave the EU, many of its citizens are now turning to poetry to deal with the uncertain aftermath.
 
As a petition calling for a second referendum gained momentum and #regrexit officially became a thing, the #WriteAPoemAboutBrexit hashtag also started to trend on Twitter.
 
Hundreds of people have now penned rhymes to express their feelings on the Brexit, with the majority (but not all) lamenting the vote to leave. Here are some of the best:
 
The people have spoken,
 With voices ignorant and loud.
 We're abandoning humanity,
 I've never been less proud.

Brainwashed by the far right, a victim to your fears
 How did you mark your ballot with your fingers in your ears?

You've ranted and raved about immigration, but all you've done is divided a nation.

Dave tried to save his own skin
 By asking Brits to vote out or in
 He lost his bet
 Many wept
 As reality sank in.
