Poem Title:
Poem
Warriors of austere adventures, soldiers for suffering and tribe survival, children,peasents,women & men,the penny poor & candid criminals, proud peoples,honest heros, we marched on all the flesh of earth, no terrain was forbidden for the fantastic forbearence of the foriegn fighters, campaigns on the cold clay of Europe's mountain valleys, the smeltering sands of arid Arabia where the sanctuaries are shadows, mundane manuevors upon the hot hills of the mutinational Meditterrain, marching in spread points across Russia's frozen waters, mildly marching single file through soft dirt along the massive Mississippi, going above and beyond the shattered rock the Hindu Kush does pile, forging fanaticaly in columns of two against angry winds that whirl and wail amid the plateus of Peru where pain is pink and mercy mute, motives for marching can be exquisitely egregious,or simple and sanctified like the beating of a boy in order to make a man rather than a brute, Hannibal climbed the hellish heights of the Alps, Caeser acquired apotheosis by the grinding of Gaul, the Khan of Asia killed for culture, irreproachable rebels like Moses and Boudica fought for posterity,for legends, Joseph Brant and Alaric broke yokes of the Imperial vulture, Cincinatus pushed forward the march to ensure the peace with plough, Tom Paine for freedom of expression,Joan of Arce burned for rapture, simplicity brings relief,and sometimes joy while on the move, oddities like bluejays & baccon, wonders such as hawks & large wildlife, good things like clean water & a commrades cackle, mysterious events of improvised spiritual ritual,omens deciphered unique to each are rife, in the snow & in the beach,through the mud,grass & crisp leaves we traverse to bring the battle to the enemy, to deliver the war with might, we march so to bring the conflict to ourselves, we march to meet,compete,and to defeat ourselves, we march to meet our Maker's light - J.A.B. %
