The General's Last Call

======================== Today I see before me men, who last were only lads It's been my greatest honor to have acted as a guide to you, not only warriors but the finest of comrades and I'd march any distance, if such men I march beside We go forth into battle, fully trained and well prepared, determination like a tree, together, we have grown Ahead, rules of engagement state that lives shall not be spared That said, if fate arrives for us, we'll not greet her alone! Though we fight for their freedom, some will villify us still The disagreed might say that war is something to condemn How quickly they forget that they enlisted us to kill or to be killed so, if you live, remember this to them No leader's heart has felt such pride as you've inspired in mine I call you, then, to arms, men. Follow me, now, to the line! ======================== September 20th, 2020
