taking up arms

A Poem by redd Brick Keshner

"Taking Up Arms" ( © 2001 ) ` War is come upon us, imposing our timid nation to rise up and take arms. I will march off along with the rest of your sons to that sea of blood, Supplied by the rivers of our throbbing wounds; while honour and patriotism collide in barbaric swill - Tearing open our bodies in those fields of hate in that cold strange land. This war is not our own; We did not ask for this. But as sons of our Fatherland, we march off to war - to fill that crimson sea.
