Stalwart ... Hold

Today's word is "stalwart" ... STAWL-wert ... firm, steadfast, or uncompromising: a stalwart supporter. (Dictionary.com)

Hold
There used to be the stalwart ones,
Uncompromised and brave,
Who would stand for country,
Not crumble in dismay.

They fought battles, bitter,
Chaining tyranny's abuse,
Now we need to watch and pray,
So those demons don't get loose.
