HE’S FIVE FOOT TWO AND HE’S SIX FEET FOUR
HE FIGHTS WITH MISSILES AND WITH SPEARS
HE’S ALL OF 31, AND HE’S ONLY 17
HE’S BEEN A SOLDIER FOR A THOUSAND YEARS
He’s the ‘Universal Soldier’,
and he’s here to serve us well.
To fight our battles and reduce us all to tears.
He’s your child, your grandchild,
your sister and your brother.
He’s your friend, and he is your lover too.
But more than these he is ‘dispensable’,
he’s fodder for the ‘Few’.
He’s fighting for the truth he thought he knew.
Though ‘The Universal Soldier’ is a brave and honest man.
He’s a Hero, and he’s a Martyr too.
He’s been led into this fight that he’s ‘not’ supposed to win,
and he’s been told he’s doing everything for YOU!
He’s the ‘Universal Soldier’
who’s as old as man himself.
He lives on and on, and on and on,
to FIGHT! For you and me.
It’s time to put this man to rest,
and to tell the ‘honest truth’.
That it’s always been for Nought,
and that a ‘sham’ is what he fought.
The ‘Black Queen’ gave him honours
to cover up her lies.
She rewarded him
with money and life’s jewels.
But with the ‘Universal Soldier’
armed with trust and truth once more,
and the wisdom
of a hundred thousand years.
He can hang up all his armour,
and his battle weary clothes.
He can look the ‘Few’
right through their jet black eyes.
He’s seen through the fog of guile
as an educated man,
and has now cried his very,
very last ‘goodbyes’.
