War has not changed much.

Familiar terrain as the enemy draws near
Bow strings pull touching our brow
Waiting to see the pant from their charge
This will determine who lives and who dies
Here they come hollering their battle cry
Knees tremble has the line starts to wavier
The sergeant at arms yells, “steady your aim
if you miss you’ll be using your fist!”
Our leader behind us destroying our fear

As we take aim waiting with our quiver.

    Captures the insanity of war. Yet,it could say much more.

    Well, I guess you would know the feeling, and the comfort of a trusted
    leader.
