When They Said......... Poem by BRUCE MARTONE

When They Said.........



when they said sit i stood, when they said quiet i spoke
when they stared i blink, when they ask i said nothing
when they said leave i stay, when they try to carry me away
i held my ground, when they said believe in us
i show them no trust when they said there right
i answer there wrong tonight,
when they said come along ishouted no way in a song,
when they said soon the war will end i answer back
let's not pretend when they said there nothing we can do
i answer back that the only thing you said that was ever so true, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
[ this poem goes to all who are tired ]
[ of all the broken promises ever said to us year after year ]
