Resistance

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: DEMOCRACY

Resistance

 

When the Nazis took over France

Some yielded, some fought back in vain

Others would form a resistance

That colored the Nazis in shame

 

When our time comes to resist

They will never know our names

We’ll be hiding in the shadows

We’ll be causing the enemy pain

 

It will be our solemn duty

To resist at every turn

When they try to put out the fire

We’ll say, Burn baby, burn!

 

Let us hope that day never comes

But if it does let’s be prepared

Let it not be said of our generation

That when it came nobody cared

 

Do not pretend it cannot happen

It can if we turn our backs

If the people rise and awaken

This train can get back on track
