Once we were legion, now we’re depleted.
So few of us now; we used to be more.
There’s me and my brothers, a few others too
Not sure about some of them; not sure of you!
Surrounded, depleted, outnumbered too few
Our ranks are diminished, whose with us, are you?
Do you stand where you once did? Do you stand with us now?
Our numbers depleted, we sorely need you.
Certainties questioned, the things we once knew,
We’re down to the hard core, the core chosen few.
Rally the ranks, stay true to the cause
it may be a lost cause but surely it’s yours?
