The few, the happy, those Saint Crispen brothers & sisters

He that shall live this day, and see old age,

Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,

And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian.'

Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,

And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day.'

Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,

But he'll remember, with advantages,

What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,

Familiar in his mouth as household words-

Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,

Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-

Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.

This story shall the good man teach his son;

And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,

From this day to the ending of the world,

But we in it shall be remembered-

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;

For he to-day that sheds his blood with me

Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,

This day shall gentle his condition;

And gentlemen in England now-a-bed

Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

In less than two weeks, I will enter into that evil breach of test and punished.

I shall rally, march and stand with the few, the happy, that band of good brothers and sisters who answered the call,

To rise against this tyranny that closes our public schools to open for profit Charter schools,

That reducing our children to data, and

Demoralizing teachers and parents.

I could not imagine standing anywhere else, but with the few, the happy, and the willing,

Arm in arm into that breach,

Should to shoulder,

with my brothers and sisters,

At that sacred sight the Lincoln Memorial in DC,

On the day of truth to power July 8.

For deep in my heart I know:

This day shall be the turning point.

This day shall be breach taken, the day truth rises,

I happily join my fair Saint Crispin's brothers and sisters.

My feet are already marching to battle,

Some day historians will write of those who rallied on 7/8/2016,

Educational historians will write this where victory against tyranny began,

Generations from now teachers will say these few brothers and sisters stood against inequity and injustice for you today.

Tell it on every mountain top the just are marching to DC,
