United We Stand, Divided We Fall Poem by Mark Heathcote

United We Stand, Divided We Fall

Rating: 5.0


The words: United we stand, Divided we fall
Every soldier over a wall
Has borne the weight of a fallen comrade
Knows that at the heart of any Galahad
A lance may strike or kill at any given time
Destroying the prevailing, paradigm;
Ending once and for all our Lion Kingdom,
Whose many men, band together, fearsome?

What Sir Galahad injured like a lamb,
Hasn't need a brother to guard his flank
Doesn't require a home a motherland
However lowly his rank: United we stand
Divided we fall, brothers one and all
Brothers one and all rise to a roll call
The world has need-of gallant heroes
We need more moral leaders, not psychoses.

These ravaged wounded soldiers men and women
Still sacrificed, would give no dominion
To foreign powers rule over us
They are our Knights of the realm, standing truss
Shoulder to shoulder, shout! 'United we stand
Divided we fall' bled their red blood for this land
One and all, one and all they are our champions
Won the peace; brought about this quiet ambience.
