PhiloA Poem by naomi marie
We held our heads high
Waved our flags above our children's eyes And waited for the ships to roll in Victory instilled in their sight. As we took what we did not own: Lives, land, wives and homes... All in the name of order. All in the same, we cowered. Well either kings are gods or men are beasts The way we follow and let them lead Well if I have one defense, one defense, Its to give a damn. Just to give a damn. We let our gaurd down Held on to freedomo and heard what the wind found out Across a boarder and a sea That many of our own are guilty. As we allow for all their young to die, Leave their women widowed and tired All in the place of peace Always we leave the changeless least of these. Well either kings are gods or men are beasts The way we follow and let them lead Well if I have one defense, one defense, Its to give a damn. Just to give a damn. And you wont find me, Fightin on a front line Unless you've found out an enemy Greater than our own complacency and pride. © 2008 naomi marie |
