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.
