The Happy Warrior (2015)
“Time has not repelled their hate Nor distilled the witching brew Of ancient tensions born anew To demand a people repatriate.
Time shall surely quell their tears The anguish, the wounds, the pain, But time knows festering sores remain Weeping freely from the ears.
Pity them their bloody ear That prevents strong screams from sounding near But pity not their eyes that hear That see and lust with passion clear.
Yesterday’s history holds no lesson That has not yet been heard nor learned... The page long read then overturned Quill dipped in blood, a new page begun.
Tony Anetts Our Life The blokes are out on the Cease Fire Line Thinking of home and the girl left behind, Of cold ale and beaches and sun shining free Of the land of their fathers where they’d rather be.
It’s a place that they think of to help pass the time, For time there’s a plenty as they go through the grind Of daily patrolling out there on the front Between Arabs and Persians, the tanks and the grunts.MoreLess
