Liberty, equality, fraternity,
lead one to think of France,
And concepts which at one time were completely in advance
Of general thinking in the world, but now are recognised
By nearly all earth’s countries, though by some they’re
still despised,
In states where they do not believe that everyone should be
Treated in a way that’s fair, that’s clear for all to see,
Though the words define the French, not all in France today
Accept those ancient words should mean exactly what they
say.
They don’t believe in liberty, and see it as a threat,
And think equality is something women shouldn’t get.
Fraternity is not for them, they want to live apart,
So France’s
motto isn’t something that they’ll all impart
To future generations, as a part of being French
Something that’s within them, which no outside force can
drench.
Words which form an endless chain which links them to the
past,
And look towards a future which they truly hope will last
For many generations, in the ages still to come
And that they’ll be accepted by all Frenchmen, not just
some.
