Freedom is the battle cry

Freedom is the battle cry

 

I stand at the precipice of battle, my helmet firmly settled.

I look down and see what the enemy holds for me.

 

A thousand enemies, a thousand unspoken regrets.

But today I am what the enemy will not forget.

 

Today I fight with my brothers and sister at my side.

Today is a good day to die.

 

What will you do when freedom starts to falter?

I will take up my spear and lead those that care.

 

Freedom is not something to be won; it is not something to be scorned.

Freedom is our right given to us by a guiding light.

 

Freedom is the battle cry against the ones that try to cage us.

This almost sounds very personal... "Freedom is the battle cry against the ones that try to cage us." I hope the bars on your cage are wide enough for you to slip through when you need to.. This is a very powerful and thought provoking piece Ron. Thank you for sharing. shallimarRose
