Not sure where this came from in my brain, but it makes me think of fantasy books or Alexandre Dumas novels. No title at the moment…
There is much to discuss
Come in, pull up a chair
Would you like some tea?
We must make plans
The generals have decided
And soon they go to sea
If we stay we’ll be caught
Trapped in their war
Who knows when it will end?
We could run away
Start a new life far from here
Shattered dreams will mend
Must we say goodbye
Leave our home and friends
Possibly for all time?
Must we be pawns
In their game of conquest?
It’s such a crime
There is no choice
They have us fenced in
There’s only one way out
So we pack up
In haste we flee
Before there’s time to doubt
Farewell, home of my youth
I will tell my children of you
Long tales of your wonders
