The Moral High Ground By Thomas Leonard in Scots.

 
In the Morell Hie groun.
In my scots translation:




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.
Aw Guid Scots will hinderly ken whit's quwhote
an surfeit yins? byle thaim in a  pote!





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.
