Day 1 Promises: Calling Londontown

If those promised executive orders on Day 1 happen (the ones from the 2023 speech) I could be on the frontline to face a civil rights suit as long as I continue to support and validate my trans students and accept them as they are. My options are either shut up and hide or speak out boldly, and as those who know me know, I don't do "shut up and hide" very well.

Years ago, Geoff Moore and the Distance recorded a song written by Dave Perkins called "Calling Londontown." I'm sure they were thinking ahead to those days when Christians would be persecuted by the followers of the Beast, but I'm seeing that song a lot differently as we begin our baby steps into a Christian Nationalist State.

She said, run, take the radio
Keep your head low tonight
Lights through the tree line, no time
I can hear the sirens calling
I can hear their footsteps falling, oh...

Calling Londontown
Calling Londontown
Can you hear me now
Calling Londontown

Pressed to the cold ground
Writing these words down
Pray for the others
Your sisters and brothers
The underground
My secret obligation
Transmit our situation, oh...

Calling Londontown
Calling Londontown
Can you hear me now
Calling Londontown

Nobody thought these days would come
Days of martyrdom
But now, if you believe
If you believe at all
You will go to the wall!
I can hear the sirens calling
I can hear their footsteps falling, oh...

Calling Londontown
Calling Londontown
Can you hear me now
Calling Londontown
