The One Who Is Different

To the one who is different none does drink a toast Not one the local community of wish to boast Anti gun and anti war not the sort one could look on as a friend Since the Country his type would not fight to defend The town's war parades he does never attend For to defend our hard earned freedom on him one could not depend He never wears the Country's colours or waves the national flag And does not feel the sacrifice of our young men in war is worth a national brag We do not need in our Country the instigators of change Since they are unpatriotic and in their thinking strange The one to most others different is one of the marginalized of the town One who will never reach the status of even local renown Anti gun and anti war he lacks in national pride He never attends our war parades to honour our brave in wars who have died.
