When the Chains Fell Off
Most
do not
know
nor
comprehend
we
too
were
slaves
this
England
this
England
I
was bred
a mere
pawn
too
in
empire
painted
red
when
they
returned
from
that
last
Great
war
enough
is enough
they
swore
victory
became
a victory
of
peace
as they
broke
free
the
wind
of change
spread
forth
to
multiply
as
empire
became
common
wealth
