The cavalry charged, leading the way
The infantry advanced, joining the fray
As for me, I was up to a little deviltry
Donned my goggles ~ battled virtual reality
How's your lower east side making out
Mine's fine 'cept I creak when out and about
Maybe an old war injury
Too young for the infantry
War ended, was wounded as a Boy Scout
So what happened to the cigarette industry
Are they all on welfare, did they join the infantry
Bet they never thought
The bonanza would stop
We smartened up stopped dying rapidly
i will stand above the industry
hold, surpass all infantry
ride into my battles
on a chariot of gold
rising to the gilded plain
racing through the pouring rain
holing up my mother's flag
a country lost and cold
pausing not to catch my breath
give me liberty or give me death
take me to the motherland-
my story must be told!
Tingling toes
of the megabyte cavalry
callouses scraping
along private roads
Cascading matrices
on the plasma periphery
peasantry bleating
on official commands
Stewing a cauldron
a festering foment
watering nations
from acid-soaked cans
BE SAFE!
say the oracles
so buying a check
but electing the cavalry
leaves the infantry wet
fallen leaves marching
down the avenue
in tune with
the howling winds
and the whispery wisps
of snowflakes
parading infantry
sent to the front

January, beckons the army
February, joining the infantry
March, with a bride in church
April, young wife looking frail
May, new life well on the way
June, whistling a fatherly tune
July, days passing rapidly by
August, feeling down and lost
September, a marching order
October, consumed by his fear
November, home now a cadaver
December, darkest time of year.
Listen to poem:
Every night a game of card is played,
four suits fates fortell;
for war is a great leveller
for infantry boys in battle.
Soldiers double-dare gambling,
day and night. All-in a game
of summer hearts; diamonds in spring;
clubs in autumn; and winter spades for graves.
Cards shuffled and dealt face-down,
in grimy hands, that hold all the cards.
The infantry stands with their boots on the ground
The muskets will fire and the trumpets will sound
The cavalries charge in the heat of the battle
The cannons will roar and the sabers will rattle
The whole thing will be fought in the dust, rain, and mud
But the payment for that is the stain of our blood
When our enemies fall then our standard will rise
Thus a nation for all is the ultimate prize
The mission is crazy
Will we come out alive?
The movements are dangerous
Load up lets go
Hop in the back
Gear ready to go
Put down your nods
That’s when you show
You can’t be stopped
You can’t be beat
Tonight’s the night
Where no match you’ll meet
Infantry does it
When no one else can
We all go in
Every time with a plan
We take out our target
We index our men
Takeoff in the air
Then get ready again
Form:
Some consecrate the carnage
Of war and infantry;
Or the argosy of navy’s
Crusading far at sea.
Battles have their triumph
When the gun is in the glove,
But the pageantry of war
Can't replace that crush called love.
For love holds more than power
It invades the soul within;
While the slaughter of mankind
Is extrinsic in its sin.
So, then my heart must follow
To the one who waits for me,
And the silence that's between us
Gives peace eternally.
The milatary cant place you? Whats wrong with it? Its
Understaffed to the umteenth bed.' If youre from the country its even worse.' I beleive theres more chance if
Ypu have four legs.? Your head on two necks praps thats
Cause your easier fed.? Or if you are purple? Or think a
Certain way like perpendicular periperal could wr say? If
You can't take a joke.' Then its straight up; as far as i see
To command all the rubber ducks, that shall form the infantry.'
