Soldier of 9 Lives

SOLDIER OF 9 LIVES I never went to military school but am a soldier Life taught me how to fight & now am older, He schooled me to use my armory and arsenal And set me on the road of the exceptional. Unlike before, life can reach me in this phone age Am a soldier, back-on-the-wall No holiday in this life's enterprise & long voyage And so, always am back in the war See my words; picturesque like its visual War is like breathe, we inhale & exhale as usual When back's on the wall Don't stay long but stand tall Because a cat never lay flat on its back Non-exhaustion of my 9 lives yet, but I won't slack No retreat no surrender is my mojo To rock this world like its slow mo'.
