The Moral High Ground   By Thomas Hoskyns Leonard

Original:

We, God’s honest ones, hold the moral high ground, While millions suffer and die in the world around, Some kowtow, others offend, We, by our integrity, will the world defend. Let them come to us, not us beg to them, As the bureaucrats, shrinks, and procrastinators spew their flem. All good Scots will eventually see what’s what. And the bad ones? Stew them in the pot.

In my scots translation: In the Morell Hie groun. We Gode's aefauld yins haud the morell hie  groun iz  mony dree an dee in the warl aroun wheen snuil, ithers  offend we, bi oor couthiness will the warl defend. lat thaim cam tae us, no us thig  o  theim  Iz high heid yins, heid doktirs an latchers spew thair fleam.
