Nude’s thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. The
Postman muttered something about wishing he could go too
And handed over a yellow envelope.
It was a command long overdue that called for healthy,
Young men.
In reply to your request,
Please find…
I hereby protest.
To the ways and means you use
You know…
I cannot refuse.
So I’ll take this vow
Of Loyalty.
Fight for the right,
You have said,
To be free.
When this time has run its course,
I must…
Live without remorse.
For the deeds I’m bound to do,
I know…
It’s all the same to you.
But I won’t forget
The memory…
Taking a life,
For a life…
To be free.
