Soldiers Past & Present Poem by Tom Zart

Every man should be a soldier
As it was with Romans and Greeks
For evil loves to steal men's souls
And strike freedom from their cheeks.

It's not the guns or armament
Or flags which fly in parade
But love and cooperation
That stops the devil's charade.

Always remember those who march
To the roll of muffled drums
Many we know, shall not return
Except to sleep beneath the mums.

The danger our solders face is for real
So let's let them know just how we feel.
Put forth your flag and show them your heart
As those we love from us depart.
