A Yorkshire Poet Poet Dramatic Verse

Straight Into the Sea

Where do we stand under this cold black sky
What message for our hearts does come 
from this breaking English tide

The grains of sand we could call our own
We would defend this land from any foe

Our minds command our hearts to stand 
for the defence of all we know

Our history of sacrifice given through fighting 
in fields on seas, on deserts in skies defending 
all we know and love from tyranny. This legacy 
of fighting for freedom, for liberty, for democracy.

So now commander where do we stand on this 
English beach.
Do we turn away from freedom, from democracy

Do we prepare to stand and defend our government 
and its lies that sold out democracy

Do we prepare to treat all we know and love as our 
enemy.

If so commander I’ll just turn and walk straight into 
this English sea.
