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
