Soldier

 

March, soldier, march
ask no questions
shoot when asked
march, march
be a hero ...
but DO NOT ask

Fight
kill
defeat
win

It´s them or us
us or them
follow that flag
march to that tune

Fight
kill
survive
or be killed

It´s them or us
it´s you  or him

March, march,
ask no questions, soldier
be a hero
dead or alive
carry that flag

Fight
kill
it´s them or us
OUR profit, their loss

March, soldier, march
YOU are our profit
dead or alive


Defend our values at the Hindukush
while we loose ours in Arkansas or Sheppard´s Bush

March, soldier, march
ask no questions
shoot when asked

Stop, soldier, stop ...

No THEM and US
not now, not then, not ever
just US, us, us ...

Ask, soldier, ask
Why, cui bono? - Who profits? WHO profits?!?!?!

Then
live, soldier, live
build bridges
plant trees
make love
be human ....

Them & us
is no more
never was ...

War
was
yesterday ...

Or
so
we
wish

(Soldiers, soldiers, where are you marching to?
In your green berets with those hand grenades
And what are you going to do?
In your olive green with those M-16s, and who are you going to kill?
When battles cease, will you find peace
Or will you be soldiers still? ) F.G. Franklin

I think we both know the answer to that question.
Great write.

[Kena Dawn Augustine]

How did you write that? put the black background and text? that is really cool. again, nice poem, oh, and nice stats!!

[Legion]

So true. Good piece. Love the formating of it as well. Good work. Check out my piece "Another Christmas Morn (A Soldier's Toast)" when you get a chance. Think you might like it.
