This is an email I received probably about five years ago, give or take. I stumbled upon it in my email and remembered why I had saved it. I loved it. It is a great piece of writing, a great inspiration.

I did not write this. As it says, an Australian Dentist wrote this. But of course, I’m not even sure if it really was an Australian Dentist. This piece just says it was.

So enjoy,

Cuyler Callahan

I wrote this poem I think like 2 years ago while I was still in school. I believe I was in Grade 12 at the time.

A Pawn To Our Country

A man is chained to his country
A pawn for his deity
Loyal by birth
No choice to choose his earth

Old men govern him
Laws restrict him
He fights for his nation
His state fights for its leaders

The art of war no longer deans
Chivalry has died with the sword
Far away with guns and machines
Along goes the romance of the fur dressed Nord

Off away for industry,
Doth men die
Profits to be made
Ca-ching rolls leaders eyes

Investment, profits,
Worth more then life
A few corrupt govern all,
By no mans choice does he serve

In God we trust, always trust,
For mens love cannot be found.
