Soldier Boy (Reprised) (Friday, 5 December 2014 1:26pm)
-
there are those that do
regard their soldiers as nawt
more than tools to break
and then only to discard
i am not one of those fools
.
soldiers and marines
put their lives on the line for
some idiots cause
oil barons profits perhaps
holly rollers, theocrats
.
i must say that there
are more to your lives than that
more than your lives spent
expended as some lying
politicians capital
