An Englishman(gjw).
An Englishman I am and always will be,
Proud, patriotic and yet so disappointed in my country,
Here we stand on the verge of war,
Tomorrow my kin may not see the dawn.
For they live in the city,
And I live out here among the trees,
Safe I think,
Safe from those we all have come to fear.
The flag that flies above the palace is our allegiance,
Never will we desert our posts,
My mind does wonder on occasion,
When I pause to think.
How did we get here?
How did it get so far?
How have our differences when all tallied up,
How have they come to mean war?
We have had the power to prevent this before,
We in the end are the cause of it all,
We trained those men,
We taught them how,
And now we must fight our former friends.
