One Against Many
One Against Many
Where a man has a principle,
and a bug in his head
Forms a view that no matter what,
won’t go away
His heart will control
every thought, every thread
He’ll not veer from his stand,
by night nor by day
He will face up to those,
he believes to be wrong
He will speak from his corner
and wave placards
Stand there his ground,
ever straight, ever strong
Opposing the tyrants,
their ways and their guards
When the furies are gathered
to break like a storm
He will parry and fend
every threat that is thrown
His mind will not bend
by the weight of the scorn
But remember the giant
brought down by a stone
With no aim to destruct
or words to impose
Just a flame in the darkness
to shine there a light
Deep from the depths
where confusions shadows
May release, rise and soar
newly imagined flight
When the voice fades away,
to deaths calling of time
The actions are measured,
of those now set free
Who forged an alliance,
stood there in line
To judge by the means,
of hypocrisy
To the memory of Brian Haw
