Teething Tigers

Western wars brought to foreign fields Bullet barrages blocked by grim guillotines Petulant petrol fans the flickering flames Courageous captains solder soldiers together Teething tigers ripped from mad mothers to Carry demented decisions from bribed bullies All hail the casket caravans of yesterday's youth
