<blockquote>'''Westarctica (of Blue and White)'''<br>By Wyatt Hill | |||
Westarctica, oh how I long to see your icy shores<br>The frozen landscape horizon as far as eyes can see<br>Pristine land that is untouched by man’s never-ending war<br>Remote cries of seal and skua your sacred symphony | |||
Westarctica, someday you’ll be a beacon to the world<br>A land of hope for those who yearn to stand for something more<br>Your people moved upon the sight of blue and white unfurled<br>A vision of ideals and goals that are worth fighting for | |||
Westarctica, the day comes soon I hope, when we can meet<br>Endeavoring together to explore life’s mysteries<br>To walk basked in the midnight sun and make this dream complete<br>Westarctica, you stir inside who I was born to be</blockquote> | |||
