Scotland oh! Scotland, <br />What have we done to thee, <br />That thou should'st want to part <br />When brothers both are we. <br /> <br />Have we not fought for freedoms sake, <br />side by bloody side, <br />And have we not shed both our blood, <br />in mutual victorious pride. <br /> <br />What do we say, to those who laid, <br />there lives down for our future, <br />Do we not owe it to the past <br />to, keep the bonds that bind us fast, <br /> <br />Should we not celebrate, <br />The differences that make us great, <br />And that together, unity, <br />is both our destiny and fate. <br /> <br />Would the square at Waterloo have held ' <br />if tartan had been absent, <br />If the fife and drums, in solitary refrain, <br />'had no the pipes' to vent, <br /> <br />Would Sevastapol still hold the walls, <br />and would we be outside them, <br />We've been over The top. under the wire, <br />together we've suffered enemy fire. <br /> <br />The enemy now are those <br />who have, an interest in disunion, <br />'Divide and conquer', 'fan the hate', <br />Let's hope to God it's not too late, <br /> <br />Let us have faith in common sense, <br />play Scotland the brave. <br />As you march to the polls, vote no, <br />and maybe our country you'll save.<br /><br />Damian Cranney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/scotland-the-brave-uk/
