An Ode To The Army General

An Ode To The Army General

1 min

My dear army General, 

To you I write

Why do you follow examples of General Dyer,

The Duke of Marlbro and Prince Eugene?


I think I love the way you shout 

To your army men,

To kill and fire us to death

A war that destructs innocent lives

The glorious lightning bolt,

Is perhaps the best example


Hope you get the knock of hell

Summoning you to death

Hope you experience that terrificus

Of losing yourself at your sight

I'll have to be bold; manage

The slippery blood from blemishing

My shoe with embroidery of gold

The sentimental tears

That shed from a childing mother's

Eyes; when she has to bid,

Her unborn baby "goodbyes" 

The blood, overflown  

Caused the crimson in August ponds

A war, you don't take blame of,

And secretly abscond


My dear army General, to you I write.

I'll spend the other day,

How do I survive the night?

Which fills the air,

With the perfume of valour

In a soldier's evaporating blood?

My hate for you is intense,

The ice of this hate, I know will never condense.
