Please comment, and if you have a better title idea, I'm open to suggestions.","content":"With the turning of the years\n\nMen and women seek their fears\n\nLightning scarce, will weed them out,\n\nThose who always tend to doubt-\n\nWhen the blackbird strikes the land.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nFlying creatures, big and small,\n\nDarkness! Darkness! hear the call.\n\nStriking feelings come to soul\n\nAs the boulder starts to roll-\n\nWhen the blackbird strikes the land.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nPathways rumble from the pain,\n\nPuddles shrink away from rain,\n\nLegs and hands and eyes and feet\n\nAll are found where creatures meet-\n\nWhen the blackbird strikes the land.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nHands on deck, go down together,\n\nGo down strong, go down forever.\n\nNever give the blackbird joy\n\nStay firm, strong, fast, stoic and coy-\n\nWhen the blackbird strikes the land.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSome will come and some will die\n\nTaunting with a battle cry\n\nStanding strongfast, fear without\n\nNever heed oblivion's shout-\n\nWhen the blackbird strikes the land.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nTried and true, what you must be\n\nStanding taller than a tree\n\nBravery, it holds the key\n\nTo eternal victory-\n\nWhen the blackbird strikes the land.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
