Soldiers Should Be Promptly Paid

Off was triggered a rebellion And it was by a Battalion: Troopers stampeding like stallion - More than lost was Hundred Million; Someone checked it: A Half Billion! Some day might notch up, A trillion. The contents of art Bank’s Bullion, Each soldier’s stirred mind cast-iron Of his own Devil – A scion… I guessed what they’d stirred up-Trouble, Whirlwind from sown wind reaped double! Press I soldiers be promptly paid And on Pay-Day nothing else said: Money not paid shooting skills fade Dues not settled like Razor Blade. You don’t one turn An Avenfer; He’ll be worse than A Scavenger.
