James Mclain Poet Lyric

This Political Environment Will Show Us Who Stands Up Against It

This Atmosphere — of Tempest —
Reveals the Souls that stay —
When others — like the withered Leaves —
Are frightened — blown away —

Conviction is a Lantern —
Held trembling — in the Gale —
Yet still — it keeps its Yellow —
Though every Light may fail —

The Quiet ones — will startle —
Their Courage — like a Drum —
Beating in the silent Streets —
Announcing — “We have come —”

And History — a stern Witness —
Will note — in careful Ink —
Who rose — against the Thunder —
And who — refused — to Think.
