Painted Blue

Painted blue, hearts afire.
Passions ignited, earthly desire.
Painted blue, souls are free.
Anger enacted, defeating tyranny.
Painted blue, ancient brave.
Steadfast resolution, no enemies are saved.
Painted blue, out of the hills.
Despots slain, their veins will spill.
Painted blue, borne of the loch.
A system of tribes and clans are their rock.
Painted blue, warrior spirit.
The greatest armies learned to fear it.
Painted blue, comprehending Earth.
Those whom disrespect Her learn their dearth.
Painted blue, proud tradition,
From Bodicea to Wallace oppression’s attrition.
Painted blue, caused London garrison’s fall,
To avoid more shame, the emperor built a wall.
Painted blue, through centuries their wisdom’s grown,
From their loins future peace warriors are sown.
Painted blue, the modern celts still heed the call,
Nature’s wisdom in bosom, win freedom for all.
