Kick!
Scratch!
Bite!
Scream!

Roll away
From their
Chains!



Roll away
From their
Murder!

Run down the street!
Shouting!
Shouting!
Shouting!

Climb up
And recover
The high ground
Of self-respect!

Stand up
And recover
The stature
Of true freedom!

Rise up
And wave
The banner
Of honest courage!


Start now!

God damn it!

Start now!

Where are the Brave Hearts???

I used to think the Bravehearts would rise up when the Despots came. I thought men would fight to keep their children and grandchildren from being used as cannon fodder or when robber barons hocked thier futures wilh unbridled debt to enrich a few.
Where have all the Bravehearts gone?????????????????
