The Fighting Man
In his armour
of knowledge, brains and mind
He goes off to the bloodless wars fought with salient words
Infantry, his words
Artillery, the wits
Sarcasm, the sabre
Bombast, the cannon
Diplomatic innuendoes
philosophical crescendos
are not mere statements
but victory bringing elements
He fights on and faints not
The fighting man strives on
for himself, family and nation
for his ideals, morals and God
Who knows,
He may just win a victory
Maybe more important
Than any victory of guns and bombs
