O'Mara


Homes so far away
Youth pledged to the commander  
Molded to command

Paradox of war
Battle trained to win and kill
Preferring not to 

Retributions arm
Swift justice for the fallen
Vengeance on evil

Hope of innocence 
Democracy's purveyor 
Armageddons voice

Peace through loaded hand
Alert in sun or shadow
Named to granite walls

The function freedom
Horror a destination
Our name is soldier

-Hermit King-
