Why are the British

Do you not see a British man is intense on behalf of others?
You may wonder why we dip in and out of humour and righteous fury to understand this, you must first hear the blackbirds in the morning, then the sparrows, then the gulls.
From there, travel inland,
where the coast gives way to soft hills,
and then push deeper still,
Till over yonder, are mountains, nigh mills nor frills.
Then at the end look back and tell me you don't feel the same,
Like the perfect mixture of blackbird song and granite shame.
The shifting measure of a truth that burns like holy flame.
You'll feel the silence where the gulls no longer fly,
And the quiet, stubborn yearning beneath a mountain sky.
Look back at the endpoint,
and admit the realization:
the sublime blend of blackbird music and granite resignation.
You'll understand the struggle, the sudden gasp, the quick jest,
The over-dramatic sigh that puts the soul to test.
You feel the shift of epochs, the weight of ancient time,
The slow, sure rise of purpose, the grand, inevitable climb.
It is the altitude of feeling, the sheer dramatic span,
That defines the spirit of this peculiar man.
