Speak English


Please—What say you?


We fight the same war

French English

English French


Closer than we can imagine

We are together impassioned


Our language our customs

Similar difference in sameness


The bell tolls

French crossbow

English longbow


How similar are we to each other

I’m certain our fears are shared


We cannot win this battle


We will flounder together

Without speed or mobility


Each sentiment together beyond

Our response with full force


Chaos

Madness


Ride with me

Rob those who deserve

To be robbed


Beside me into battle

All plans are spectacular


Tomorrow I discover the golden thread


To give you my life

This my task


I need you

My Confidence

You are my friend


I will to join you


Early into the morning dawn

We will pactice our communion


My tears become a drink

Shared with my brethren


A kingdom united
