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.
