Armed With Courage
ARMED WITH COURAGE
The world is crazy, often a brute,
spoiled, lackadaisical, and hurried.
Why follow the Pied Piper with his flute?
The terror, behind the window-blind shoot!
Entertainment ceased and the crowd scurried.
The world is crazy, often a brute.
Whilst craven armed man, delivers the boot,
with courage some shine, aiding the worried.
Why follow the Pied Piper with his flute?
Hurricanes and fires - the storm’s quick pursuit.
Fleeing devil’s flames. So many buried!
The world is crazy, often a brute.
When many men run, some wear their saint-suit,
unnoticed and wise, favor not curried.
Why follow the Pied Piper with his flute?
When others destroy, many more gain fruit -
angels of might - courageous, not worried.
The world is crazy, often a brute.
Why follow the Pied Piper with his flute?
