SOLDIER FOLLOW THE LEADER : Inspirational Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


A soldier must always know on what kind of ground to stand.
Unless you live out that code then you cannot understand
I must begin my job free from the hands of evil men
I must always avoid harming women and children
I must not become swayed by the churches or the sinners,
I should balance the justice between losers and winners.
I must ask all my scruples if they could leave me alone.
I would be so lucky if I were made of blood and bone.
But a soldier is made of steel with an iron will to own.
What a turn around as we go come have a spin with me.
The truth of it is they are the powers that have to be,
Wait and see I will follow the leader once I'm in.
I have a job to do there is no way I can give in.
As one selected to kill I cannot make a mistake
But as a soldier, are there any changes I can make?
