Thank you, Graham.
I will correct the spelling mistake.
The poem is well known in Scotland. It was in a stained glass window in my school, or part of it. Perhaps I ought to attribute it.
Freedom from oppression comes only with the shedding of blood. Or at least the narrator of the poem thinks so. The poem is fairly bloodthirsty. Do I believe it? Not really. I incline to the quisling view, as will the Scots in the referendum.
I want something that does paralyse the system. What does?
Brian. you haven't been following the rhetoric. I hardly blame you. Mr Salmond has his claymore drawn. And the battle is Bannockburn. The Scots won that one with great slaughter/
