Not
Will not
Why not?
The time is not ripe
For them to wipe
Down the pipe
That carried the tripe
That changed history
When the bell sounded
We were well rounded
As we bounded
Into the final curves
But we were hounded
With our scarves
Around our hands
Only to turn into chains
While we slept
While the bell sounds
With unity in strength
Going by the length
And leaps and bounds
We are unwound
To break the chains
That held us back
We are who we are
Proud and gentle
Intelligent but humble
Loving and caring.
