Say Not That
Say not that they died
Where a stood
When they stood against oppression
And wrong
Say not that the battle is over
When it is not yet won
And ere the sun rises
Another day is begun.
Say not that force of arms
Are the only wars worth fighting
For to hold the peace
Is as of a thousand of all things
Say not that walls protect you
Whilst you cower behind them
And the Capitalists monetise your fear
Forgetting they once cared
Say not that Democracy is dead
When the party’s wants trump the peoples’ need
And you have yet the wind in your veins
And the blood in your sails
Say not that it can’t be done
For all things start as possibilities
And it takes a drop to cause a torrent
And a river gushing forth.
