It helps to be blessed with interior lines.
While your enemy struggles to co-ordinate,
Your units will be able to shift easily
To provide mutual support where needed.
It helps that the enemy’s supply train
Will become its Achilles’ Heel.
Draw them on with deceptive tactics
And make their time in country hard.
It helps to be fighting on familiar ground.
Like playing war in your own backyard.
Change all the road signs and jam GPS.
Hit-and-run is the plan of the day.
It helps that the world sees your courage
And applauds your will to resist.
The dictator’s boot will get polished for sure
When it’s finally shoved up his ass.

"The Ship of State"
On Ship! New billows sweep thee out
Seaward. What wilt thou? Hold the port, be stout
See'st not thy mast
How rent by stiff Southwestern blast?
Thy side, of rowers how forlorn?
Thine hull, with groaning yards, with rigging torn,
Can ill sustain
The fierce, and ever fiercer main;
