Robin Silver Poet Rhyme

I Kneel In Solidarity

I kneel with all right across the globe, I kneel in solidarity

i stand with all the kneelers and I do it with some clarity

As a national flag is just coloured cloth designed to divide and rule

Indoctrination starts when you're young, vulnerable and still at school

This continues into the workplace and at sporting events too

Well I'll kneel for freedom where the flag once flew

Freedom of speech is what it's all about

So I'll stand with all the kneelers to give freedom a shout

As the colours of this flag are just a sign of imperialism
 
The mark of an invader, the mark of materialism

A fake patriotism that's forced upon you

Well I'll kneel for freedom where the flag once flew

To be persecuted for not standing to attention

Is for the whole world to see and is up for contention

As signs of fascism and hate are all around for us to see

So freedom of speech is what we must guarantee

Well I refuse to stand for the flag that is red white and blue

But I will kneel for freedom where the flag once flew
