Charge Boldly Charge

Charge boldly charge
No quarter asked
From the valley
They stormed
An enemy 
Struck
As blood
A sideways rain
Blinding those
Left afoot
With horses
Shot
A hill to be
Taken
No more reason
Than that
Dead Captain
Face down
His riderless 
Mount
Chasing
Straight 
To the top
The summit
Crested
Invaders
Turned
With screams 
From the 
Boys
Now cries 
From the 
Men
As downward 
They start
Killing from
The back
With no 
Quarter given
Charge boldly charge

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2013)
