battle short

Like a father ...spreading his arms around them

 Watching over favored ...sons and daughters

Developing a team …guarding against the extreme

Building a self+sustaining band of potential heroes

Devoted to protection of one another

Band of sisters …and brothers

Soldiers will learn …how to serve, to protect

Homes and families of others

To lead and perform to task …to their ability

Directed and coordinated like chess pieces

Watch over intently as if by nobility

Valuable assets can be sacrificed …with no regrets

So long as sufficient progress is made …in trade

As many souls in the balance …saved

For every cause which rises …so does its measure of loss

How much death and suffering does freedom cost

So on it goes with or without saying

Much battle fervor …just as much prayer

Those who fight with honor

Pave the way for us

To live free…

Continuously
