To Serve Their Generals
19 February, 2010
Author: Elizabeth Squires
to serve their generals
the soldiers file in
clouds of trepidation
apportion their skin
the harsh front of battle
will test their resolve
mistakes and errors of battle
their generals wont absolve
unto the job of killing
the soldiers must ford
their generals holding
the dominant swords
the soldiers are at
their generals behest
and must muster nerve
out front of the quest

And it's a poetic morality tale too by way of great storytelling ..... |
