Enjoy the War!!

Strive not for strife But confront conflict on all fronts When it strides past your ride Dispense with all disputes Spare not your fangs When fear rears its ugly head: When it rains; have a free cold bath If sun shines, dry your clothes At the reign of darkness Find the inner light That lights your path undimmed If the flood flows Swim afloat on lifebuoy And if fire rages and smoke rises Expect the afterglow When horde of odds assail like bandits Never retreat, nor surrender Turn around, turn aside, Never turn in nor turn back Enjoy the war.
