Quebec, settled by the French, Irish, and Scottish have many things in common with their homelands. Here in Quebec, we too have a separatist movement, that a few times lost a referendum on separation.

I have seen so much division, when today, we have more in common than that which divides us. No one with a flag or a piece of paper can take away who you are. I have seen so much division in this world in my travels, including the middle east. In this new global word, we are stronger together. This is just my view and no matter, as democracies, the people always decide. Either way I love all my Scottish brothers, no matter.

Cavemen carved stones into tribal wars mans battle curse Men will kill over the color of a flag old ways must be lowered to half mast United Kingdoms morphed into today's democracies where men are equal and women sleep in peace Kings are symbols of history stones, inanimate objects worshiped by fools Scotland voted to be united and free History's no reason for division common values now unite we learn of gods wisdom with love, never division Now a land of the people of values and not ones ancestry we have no masters therefore no separation The brave the Pipes and drums march proud towards future dreams my Scotland, my future United by God or face the gun

History has changed a lot through the years, but hatred and wars, it still goes on for domination and power. The young, women, and the old they don't matter to them they are merely "expendables and casualties of war
