If You Want to be a Red Tulip…

If you are a red tulip in a field of gold

and they say you’ve broken the mould

just raise your head and be bold.

Do not let the crowd dictate

do nothing to facilitate

the spread of their bile or hate.

Be a Trump hater among Trump supporters

a Liverpool fan among Everton lovers

a vegan in a crowd of meat eaters.

Be a Remainiac among Leave maniacs,

don’t be taken aback

by All-right-Jacks and the wolf pack.

Paddle your own canoe, steer your ship

Don’t let them tell you you’re a Freudian slip

If in a field of gold you’re red tulip
