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,  
He doesn't need a brother to guard his flank.
He doesn't require a home in 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 requires gallant heroes.
We need more moral leaders, not psychoses.

These ravaged wounded soldiers, men and women 
Still sacrificed, I would give no dominion.
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 and brought about this quiet ambience.
