This is the Day

I'm not a soldier
I've never been to war

Though in battle – I stand my ground
I'm a warrior – to the core

One thousand years in occupied country
It's still not yours to give away

So listen up – little King Fly

Who ever you are
What ever you say

I don't want your mercy

Time's up my friend

Live free or die – This is the day

True Norseman – I toe no line!

(unless I want to)

Useful for people
Useless for giants

Hail to you who spoke

Hail to you who can

Joy to you who understood

Happiness to you who listened

– Jaa. Nåen måste ta ansvaret. I alla värv.

Wandering out into this great unknown
And I don't want no one to cry
But tell them if I don't survive
I was born free

Poetry Page Retro 2020

For the fun of it: the above is what the Poetry
page looked like around December, 2020.

(there's a little bit more text on that page now)

I think the change is pretty cool!
