Cavalry Charge

Heed the cry of innocence lost to 
Hapless heathen reckless wrath. 
No amount of weepy wailing 
Halts the imminent attack.

Not for lack of warning 
Nor a need for preparation, 
Just grasshopper mentality, 
Never forward, 
Never back.

Now raise the call to summon forces. 
Now sound your bugle loud and strong. 
Call your horses from their stables 
Swift and ready for the fray. 

Now draw your sabers, feed your cannons, 
Let the battle lines be drawn. 
Let your lightning and your swiftness 
Be the savior of the day.

In the aftermath of battle, 
The reset of memory, 
Praise the bravery and the daring 
Of her wondrous cavalry.
