I AM A FREEBORN ENGLISH MAN (a poem for Tommy Robinson)

I AM A FREEBORN ENGLISH MAN

I can stand

because others fall.

I can walk

because others did crawl.

Mud, Blood and bone.

I can shout

because others spoke.

I can think

because others awoke.

Paper, ink and iPhone.

I am a Freeborn EnglishMan

and before me lies a choice.

Do I remain forever silent

Or do I use my only voice.

I am a Freeborn EnglishMan

now I must pay a price.

To hold onto this very title

what will I sacrifice.

I went down to Speakers Corner

I marched on Freedom day

I stood outside of Downing Street

After they took the truth away

So what are we now England

Can we take pride in what we have become.

The future lies before us

We must shape it or be forever undone.

I am a Freeborn EnglishMan

I know what is right and wrong

I stand with Tommy Robinson

This is where I belong.
