Wrote this for school a while ago. I like it. Figured I'd post it.

Chins up, lads! Do not let the enemy see your sorrow.
Your confidence will scare them senseless.
To lock eyes with you and to not see fear
And wonder “Why not?” will set them defenseless.
To battle we charge, per the orders of our king
We will spill the blood of our neighbor.
It is not our duty to question, but to carry out
The will of our king and claim the title of Victor.
Boots tight, boys! The walk will be long and tiresome.
And upon our destination, the stress will only increase.
Further forward we will walk toward our graves
Without rest, without relaxation, without release.
To victory we march, for safety of our people
We will march into the jaws of hell.
For if we are to fail, which, lads, we shan’t,
The citizens will be left to hear the chimes of Death’s bell.
Swords sharp, men! The dull blade will get you nowhere.
Only the sharp blade will send your foes to the fire.
The sooner we arrive, the sooner we may start to see.
To see victory, and a start to peace, is my one greatest desire.
