Elizabeth Folkers Poet I do not know?

The Losers

The war was hard
The battle tough
But yet those soldiers did their part
The worked their way
Through thick and thin
Just to hear their leader say well done
They were loyal for their side
And longed to continue to carry their flag high
But when they heard that they'd surrendered
They pleaded that they could keep going
They could wait it out 
And they could win 
That tough fight
They longed to walk home proud 
With the flag of victory at their side
But instead they would walk home in rags
The men began to leave 
When their leader suddenly spoke up and said
Men I'm proud of you 
You played your roll well
Go back home to your families 
And rebuild your towns 
Start a new life without me 
Do your victory dance because you fought well
Don't go home a loser but a winner 
Because you made me proud 
So go home and make me proud
