WITH HEADS HELD HIGH Poem by Mark Insingel

with heads held high
with heads held high and in straight lines
with heads held high and in straight lines and with banners waving
with heads held high and in straight lines and with banners waving and at a steady pace
with heads held high and in straight lines and with banners waving and at a steady pace and with songs resounding
with heads held high and in straight lines and with banners waving and at a steady pace and with songs resounding and in bright uniforms
with heads held high and in closed ranks and with banners waving and at a steady pace and with songs resounding and in bright uniforms
with heads held high and in closed ranks and following the flag at a steady pace and with songs resounding and in bright uniforms
with heads held high and in closed ranks and following the flag and in march time and with songs resounding and in bright uniforms
with heads held high and in closed ranks and following the flag and in march time and with songs thundering and in bright uniforms
with heads held high and in closed ranks and following the flag and in march time and with songs thundering and in battle dress
with grinning faces and in closed ranks and following the flag and in march time and with songs thundering and in battle dress
with grinning faces and like a gang and following the flag and in march time and with songs thundering and in battle dress
with grinning faces and like a gang and pursuing the people and in march time and with songs thundering and in battle dress
with grinning faces and like a gang and pursuing the people and on the double and with songs thundering and in battle dress
with grinning faces and like a gang and pursuing the people and on the double and roaring and shouting and in battle dress
with grinning faces and like a gang and pursuing the people and on the double and roaring and shouting and spattered with blood
