We had grown tired of this endless war.
We thought it was time to leave and to govern ourselves.
Fearing punishment for our
betrayal,
We asked our old enemies to defend our cities.
They kept the Kings forces at bay,
But it had cost us all we ever
had.
After they had consumed most of our stock,
They forced our children to serve
As their soldiers in the war,
From which we
only tried to escape.
We saw the smoke rising
From beyond the forests canopy
The sight made our hearts fill with sorrow.
So
many lives wasted,
In spite of our warnings.
Could we have done more to keep them from leaving?
On our search for
independence
We lost all the freedom we once had.
We are now little more than slaves in our own country,
Cheated into a life of
misery.
We saw the smoke rising
From beyond the forests canopy
The sight made our hearts fill with sorrow.
So many lives
wasted, in spite of our warnings.
Could we have done more to keep them from leaving?
