They Can't kill us all....and I get that defiance must start somewhere RIP all Patriots I am A Highlander we stopped the Roman Empire

Hadrian's Wall

Rome came only this far,...

sons, do you see?

They erected this monument from Sea to Sea

This statue of rock is to solidify their Empire's destiny

Sons take a second look

Rome came only this far

Daughter take this poem,

and write a book

I am, as you,

a son of this defiance

They built this wall because I am a wild man still

What beats through those Pict's

still beats in my firm will

I remained defiant

and did not bow to submission

I do not pledge my allegiance to an empire's mission

I am a wild man,

Gods enthusiasm fully spent

The Roman Empire came north and this is ........

as far as they went,

73 miles long from Sea to Sea

Stones and sod 12 to 15 feet high

8 feet wide, 6 years to build,

and I am the reason why

2000 years ago you see

To keep the likes of me

From driving them crazy

I am a Scot an Irishman A Pict

I am a melting pot of defiance and wit

They built this wall to keep me out

They built this wall in honor of my will

I am a wild man 2000 years ago still
