Patriots Cannot Be Caged -Roundabout Poem

These times at hand are volatile,
We need faith and courage!
When Evil reigns,
Let Truth remain-
We need faith and courage!


When Danger enters Freedom's stage,
let men not live in vain!
We take our stand,
fight hand in hand,
let men not live in vain!


Our countries are not for their gain,
they can't control our land.
our freedom steal
with deceit's skill,
they can't control our land.


They come and then they make demands,
whose guile dictates at will.
We can't be caged
by Terror's rage
whose guile dictates at will.
