history

what is it in our United Kingdom history
that can teach us about ourselves today
when once again we watch a warmongering
tyrant wave his iron fist in our faces
.
we can look back with certain knowledge
to a time when our nation was threatened
and there was talk of giving in
of appeasement, the waving of useless paper
.
but one man stood strong before us
above all others in our nation
he gave us his spirit, our spirit
to endure and live for victory alone
.
so today look around, at public figures
as that fist again shakes its wrath
where is the leader with dynamism to inspire
where is the great individual of today
.
to be sure they are not sitting on a fence of indescision
they are not watching their p's and q's
just as the greats before were not
who is it that shines a dynamic light of leadership
