A Soldier's Mantra
Manifest duty; defending kindred brood
Latent calling; nation's honor renewed
Visceral charge; enemies' designs denude
Intrinsic goal; with virtue be imbued
Explicit mission; territorial boundaries improved
Inherent challenge; inhibitions and hubris removed
Material objective; loyalty to peers proved
Implicit task; with selflessness and integrity be viewed.
