Learning History

The Merovingian Kings of Gaul Were once a mighty kingdom That stood above the rest so tall Germans displaced and defeated Were given many rules Along with a divided leader to be seated Constitutional rights and lives alike Were spent readily To prevent a terrible strike United they stood and lands acquired People running away From the demands they required Settled now in a beautiful place Safe from their demise Who knew it was to be a long and lasting chase From there they fled to another land More beautiful then the last But once more came storming in the past One by one they came to our newly found shelter and grew With plans in hand For yet another siege, generations in the future, that we never knew Now as they stomp across the desert for all to see, Blood spilling the whole way Does this really make us free? Or have we run out of places to hide Kept running As the innocent sat and sighed. When does this chase end And at what point Does an enemy become a friend?
