The Fighting Man- Rewrite
He goes out armoured
In knowledge, brains and mind
He goes off to the war of no blood
Fought with the steady word
Infantry his words,
Artillery his wits,
His sarcasm bayonets,
his bombast cannon blasts
Diplomatic innuendoes
Philosophical crescendos
Are not mere statements
But victory bringing elements
He faints not and fights on
For himself, family and nation
The fighting man strives on
For his ideals, God and axioms
Who knows
He might just be victorious
In such importance
As to be more than that of guns and bombs
