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 momentum¹ 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) lamenting² 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 ballot³ with your fingers in your ears?

You've ranted⁴ and raved⁵ 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.
