 A FREEMASON'S 
POEM
by Tony Hamilton, Bearsden Scotland
 Quite simply one 
pillar to another was as wide as my brother’s smileIt was the day of the great one’s child in the west and a geometric day in the 
east
 We have taken many steps and followed many signs; for society we go the extra 
mile
 Whilst often invisible we apply endless love, considerable charity and 
intellectually required guile
 We are 
freemasons and proud, offering each of our communities so muchThe silent brother and morale man acts as Santa Claus all year round
 Giving to those we love and those who are in need, ours is rarely seen, a silent 
touch
 The eagle soars above silently, rarely seen, but its grip has a definite touch.
 Through time 
itself our brotherhood has stood the trials and test of timeBecause the pages of history and future world events requires it should exist
 As a desert needs water and day needs night, one of the wonders of the most 
divine
 But never be complacent as the world revolves on a constant changing axis
 Now a Virtual 
Lodge exists and carries love and brotherhood across the globeBut is 
humble and recognises the view of the intellectual man outside of the square
 Because one man’s rags are 
indeed another man’s robe
 And all enquiry, criticism and rejection of our humane beliefs are just, true 
and fair
 We are told a 
penny is all you need to enrich another’s world, is it just cry and hue?I implore you to listen to those that believe that our existence is quite simply 
evil
 We are nothing but equal to every other man on this planet, we just follow a 
path that is true
 Maybe one 
day they will give us a break and recognise that our generous activity is on the 
level.
