Soldier’s Job
Fealty with love, valor with honor, disloyalty with vengeance.
St Elmo's fire danced
Upon the mast.
Winds blew up
And his love,
Helped hold fast.
It is a soldier’s job—
A soldier’s job
Mighty keel.
Steady and strong.
Un-celebrated,
Un-worshipped
On its inverted throne.
It's a soldier’s job—
A soldier’s job
No note for the plank
Or her many sisters
Stitched as one.
Compound, concave.
But names
Never Known.
A soldier’s job—
Soldier’s job
No Future,
No past
So sing with me—
Of the heroes
Who did their job—
no day but today,
no love but ours.
