I Will Never

by Shaun Cronick   Jul 27, 2022


I will never bow my head,
To those who seek to overcome.
I will never yield my ground,
To any who trespass carefree.
I will never speak of ills,
Of my family and friends.
I will never kneel before,
False kings and baubles.
I will never band with bullies,
Cowards and low moral fibre.
I will never beg mercy or seek solace,
From multitude Gods.
I will fight them forever,
I will never, never give up.
And if the odds are unsurmountable,
Then I and many others will die trying.
For a good death is its own reward.

Dedicated to my late father Leonard.
