Soldier Boy (Reprised) (Friday, 5 December 2014 1:26pm)

By BetaWolfinVA

 

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 perhapse 
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
