Soldiering on

  We soldier on,
For our mates,
Despite all the insanity
And all the hates.
Our generals may be crazy.
Our officers may be lazy.
But we soldier on,
Singing a solidarity song.
Loving one another,
A brotherhood of comradry.
Standing back to back.
We win for our children
That way.

The ghosts of Rudyard Kipling, Kurt Vonnegut, Joseph Heller and sundry relatives and friends contributed to this.
