<u>Make the Stand</u>


    <u> </u>


    When the world is dark


    And life draws to a close,


    When you’re about to die


    A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.


    And no one knows.


    Make the stand.


    When tyranny does rise again


    And fear walks through the streets,


    When fascism has reared its ugly head,


    And no one dares to speak.


    Make the stand.


    When freedom is but a dream


    And your dreams are not your own


    When opinions are illegal


    And you’re feeling all alone.


    Make the stand.


    When the numbers are against you


    And death a guarantee,


    When hope is but a memory


    And oppression is the norm.


    Make the stand.


    Stand alone or stand together


    But stand.
