About This Poem
Stand Your Ground
Will you come now and stand your ground
A place to rest your heart and soul
There is no better stand around
Hope found, resting might take its toll
Don’t fight for what you don’t believe
Will you come now and stand your ground
But don’t practice art to deceive
Let the craft rot, higher souls bound
Believe we can learn from the sound
Who make their mark with mighty words
Will you come now and stand your ground
Sound words are craftier than swords
Though to make such a stand as this
You might have to grind in and pound
Unless aimed true, words tend to miss
Will you come now and stand your ground
