I Am The Last
I am last!
The last man standing!
The last who can say!
How brave the men
I knew, laid down their
Lives for the many,
The invisible ones,
No one saw or heard
By then, it was too late.
Jobs that no one would do,
No one knew, the bravery
Of such men as these,
Fearlessly, obediently
Dispatched their duty
So you could be free.
