\nThe White Rose<\/strong>
\n(i.m. members of the White Rose German resistance movement 1942-1943)<\/em><\/p>\n
\nTo love when taught to hate.
\nTo resist the surge of the crowd.
\nTo manoeuvre in a world of control.
\nTo speak when silence is enforced.
\nTo question when orders are the norm.
\nTo look the tyrant in the eye and defy.
\nTo dream of peace in a world of war.
\nTo cradle hope newborn in your arms.
\nTo feel the undertow and keep swimming.
\nTo wait for the knock on the door.
\nTo listen to the scrape of gaolers\u2019 keys.
\nTo face down the ranting judge.
\nTo listen for the drop of the blade.<\/p>\n
