The Bad Poet

Sit down to stand up.

  Stand up to be put down

  Move to the rear

  Says the man as he puts it in gear

  Get up says another like he owned you

  Sit down to stand up

  But she sat

  Alone, stubborn and righteous, she sat

  Fearless in the valley

  Faithful in God to break every chain

  Sit down to stand up

  Stand up to sit down

  The sound of a small pebble that precedes a wave of movement

  There will be an army rising up Sit down to stand up Stand up to sit down.
