Notes About The Poem
I wrote this when I was still in the U.S. Army. I thought it was fitting.
Ranger Joe
Ranger joe
He always knows
Which way to go
How much to fight
Or what's too slow
Never quit, never surrender
That's the oath
He'll always remember
Who is too weak,
Or which one is strong
He'll cover down
And won't be wrong
He'll sing along with every creed
He will never miss a beat
Nor a bullet, nor a friend
His heart is strong,
But in the end,
The faster,
The smarter,
The keener,
The wiser,
The hiss of a mortar,
It just won't matter,
Because the good die young,
And the bad live longer,
To spread disease,
To make life harder,
To do more harm than good,
And make the good even better...
