Making bold choices
\nThat can change our perception
\nEnliven lost spirit
\nShining light on deception
\nThree living images
\nCast in bronze, stand
\nIn Alexandre Platz Square
\nFashioned by hand<\/p>\n
Bradley Manning
\nJulian Assange
\nAnd Edward Snowdon we see
\nHero’s all of them
\nGood fellows three<\/p>\n
Standing on chairs
\nWith an extra chair left
\nEmpty,for anonymous thus not bereft
\nTo also stand there
\nAnd speak if they choose
\nOr just stand in line
\nHead high hand on heart
\nWith nothing to lose<\/p>\n
On all four citizens
\nOf global time
\nGlobal surveillance
\nIts purgatorial climb
\nInto our sinew into our heart
\nThe lies that led to war
\nThat were the start<\/p>\n
Of a heartfelt rebellion
\nThe earthlings embrace
\nHumanity stared out
\nHigh into space
\nThrough the clouds of sophistry
\nDemanding to hear
\nThe truth of each moment
\nIn everyones ear<\/p>\n
Such courage displayed by them
\nAn equality
\nOf justice regarded to infinity
\nA greatness of spirit
\nAnd abundance of power
\nFrom 3 stalwart seeds
\nClimbing into each hour<\/p>\n
Transcending the struggle
\nAnd supremacy
\nMaximising the effort
\nThe will to break free
\nFrom the bonds of resentment
\nThe invisible chains
\nAn art form where splendour
\nIs held by the reins<\/p>\n
It would have been easy to gallop
\nAway
\nTo diminish the impact
\nWith an overlay
\nSomething modernistic
\nBut what we now see
\nIs 3 life size statues
\nOf the famous three<\/p>\n
The challenge was immense
\nThe struggle was long
\nAlone in the studio
\nEngaging the throng
\nWorking creating the form
\nAnd the art
\nCreating the likeness
\nWith hand upon heart<\/p>\n
Davide his concept
\nThe methodical way
\nThe whole composition
\nThe mutual display
\nThe perpetual thoughts
\nThe innumerable way
\nWith boundless excitement
\nThe whole work did play<\/p>\n
Imagination time bound it be
\nA perpetuation and immortality
\nFor here stands a monument
\nOf due consent
\nWhat they have done
\nThough their freedom
\nWas spent<\/p>\n
Was rise to the heights
\nThat all earthlings can rise
\nHave their arms aloft
\nWhen they reach to the skies
\nThe art the occasion
\nAnd really just how
\nThe truth that is paramount
\nIs for the now<\/p>\n
Rome its great history
\nDrawn through the soul
\nDavide’s intensity
\nHis vibrant role
\nTrustful and willing
\nFull blooded and strong
\nAlways prevailing
\nRampant, all along<\/p>\n
