Grey Day



It is a gray day with thunder and lightning forecast,
      Tho it take a thousand or a few, we will not bend we
              will not break.
To Depression or Oppression, gray,
       Tho in solitude we are jailed,
               we can not fail to join together, by force of mind.
One day in the not to distant future,
         we will come for you, and you will find,
                 what vengence breeds for your kind.
