Rise and Rise Again
When lambs become lions,
--victory's part
holds much less importance
than matters of heart
Brave men come to honor
--through trials and travails,
though courage may falter
and hope sometimes fails
Their leader inspires
--resolution unfailed
men's faith and belief,
as his own doubts he veils
Through battles and burdens
--ideals will ascend
their substance and truth
over time still undimmed
They fight not for glory
--but for hearth and for home
not for riches or kings,
but for liberty's throne
They will rise, and again
--'til tyranny's fall
until lambs become lions
Free men one and all
Submitted to Friday Poetically's challenge to write a poem using a movie preference, at One Stop Poetry. Thanks, as usual, to the inspiration.

I really can't convey in mere words what that speaks to me of.

Great lines. Great movie. The voice was so intense. You captured the character of the movie perfectly.
Such inspirational words, well captured in your poem.
I love Robinhood! You have captured the spirit of the story in your words. Very vivd!
