I Will Never Bow My Head... Poem by Shaun Cronick

I Will Never Bow My Head...

Rating: 5.0


I will never bow my head,
To those who seek to overcome.
I will never yield my ground,
To any who trespass carefree.
I will never speak of ills,
Of my family and friends.
I will never kneel before,
False gods, kings and baubles.
I will never band with bullies,
Cowards and low moral fibre.
I will fight them forever,
I will never, never give up.
And if the odds are unsurmountable,
Then I and many others will die trying.
For a good death is its own reward.

Dedicated to my late father Leonard.
His strength, virtues and faith I promise to live up to.
A true fighter.
And also dedicated to Martyn Jones, a good man, the best.

Wonderful homage to your father and your friend Shaun! I too completely concur with you about the importance of virtue and faith. Sadly these days I see myself more and more as a one man army. I will keep beating my own drum. Yet it is good to know that someone like you, a fellow noble British knight, feels the same way. Consequently, it's undoubtedly a faithful five from me!
