No few believe that to submit entails
surrender to whatever foe you face
but only fools and those ahead in power
endorse this sinister redefinition.
Submit, submit, but only to the Truth,
to Faith in someone greater guiding all,
to Hope in all his judgements, and to Love
of blood and water, mud and holy oil,
and when you grip your sword or throw your brick,
marching towards your country's capitol
for the poor immigrant, the dissident,
the unrequited seed of the enslaved,
with your heart meek, your will resigned to fate,
then even should you fall, you shall prevail.
