Description We are taught of former glories
The burden of our history
Weighs heavy on infant shoulders
As it does our enemies

But I feel safe and protected
On this the day of the Moon
Unlike the remaining six days
When impending horror consumes

Wind chill woes on the moors this morn
Freedom spoke in a foreign tongue
I did not understand her chants
Percussion did not help her song

The stench of death, the drums of war
In time with the beat my heart gave
History is never written
By the flocks that choose to behave

So raise hell but come together
Unite as we are all the same
Keep the lion's heart within you
Your fiery temper learn to tame

Project your positivity
Onto those you cannot abide
Love those who have come to despise you
And they'll learn to love you in time

Ladies down all of your weapons
Gentlemen surrender your arms
We will keep calm and carry on
War is nothing more than self harm

Our safe word will be "unity"
Just three syllables from release
Save lives with the words "I love you"
Three simple, serene words from peace

This is really good. It has a great depth to it and it's very inspirational. The title is good, although I'm not sure it matches what it seems you're trying to convey.

Very intriguing... I feel this is more about enlightenment than anything. When we work together, we can find the truths we need to find, and revolutionize.

Thank you very much! How flattering! You could very well be the emperor of poetry. You're quite good at it, and your poems always carry such meaning. They're never very shallow.

Why am I suddenly reminded of the vote for Scottish Independence?
I want to forget it!

But a brilliant poem non-the-less.

But I loved this so much. Being the history nerd I am this makes so much sense to me and I love you for it.
