A Hero in a Man's Army
When he grows up he wants to be
a hero in a man’s army
He’ll join the war and fight the foe
to foreign shores he’ll gladly go
His sweetheart he will kiss farewell
his parents’ hearts will truly swell
He’ll proudly don his uniform
and head off to the gath’ring storm
But soon the smirk will leave his face
when bursts of bombs and missiles chase
him underground as scared as hell
He'll lose control, begin to yell…
Brave dreams give way to brutish war
~ no hero ever clamors for
Iambic Tetrameter ~
