Thoughts of a Soldier

Thoughts Of A Soldier 
Marchinn,no beatin drum to keep my rhythum. 
No one is singinn or whistlinn. 
Just making miles on a one way trip. 
Bringing death to all religions. 
Armed with weapons of mass destruction. 
Carryinn my extra socks and foot powder. 
Wishinn i did not have to have my beer later. 
Lookinn for a place no place to eat. 
Forgettinn always to carry meat. 
Have i got my knife yet and all my leaven. 
On my merry way to heaven, 
I have to fight now to survive. 
Thoughts of a soldier,gettinn older in the night.
