“Arise Reborn! by Stewart Stafford In cosy choice, the complacent lie, Teasing open the serpent's eye, To outflank, usurp then suppress, A deceiver's mask under duress. Delusion lays a gossamer snare, Flicking forked tongues tasting air, Devotion to clan, a dying dream, Delirious mining of treachery's seam. Battle drums as heroes rise, Saving tribe and land by surprise, The call to action, your country's plea, The broad church of necessity. Lessons echo in infancy's steps, Territory gained, homeland re-annexed, Skirmishes coalesce in a patriot's war, To campfire tales of visionary valour. © 2025, Stewart Stafford.

Arise Reborn! by Stewart Stafford
In cosy choice, the complacent lie,
Teasing open the serpent's eye,
To outflank, usurp then suppress,
A deceiver's mask under duress.
Delusion lays a gossamer snare,
Flicking forked tongues tasting air,
Devotion to clan, a dying dream,
Delirious mining of treachery's seam.
Battle drums as heroes rise,
Saving tribe and land by surprise,
The call to action, your country's plea,
The broad church of necessity.
Lessons echo in infancy's steps,
Territory gained, homeland re-annexed,
Skirmishes coalesce in a patriot's war,
To campfire tales of visionary valour.
