Poetic-Verses
'' A Betrayal Of Our Brave Forces ''
Our forces are our saviours,
their bravery we must commend,
it's been shown throughout our history,
on these heroes we depend.
So spare your thoughts of anger,
take time out to pause,
keep your ire and sympathy,
for a more deserving cause.
While we're out here fighting,
we hear with apprehension,
you politicians are stealing,
our allowances and our pension.
Not only that, how low can you stoop,
we'd be better off in jail,
you've sacked members of our forces,
by electronic mail.
We volunteer our services,
in our eyes this is right,
we choose to live our lives this way,
yes that does include to fight.
If we didn't believe in liberty,
we would not be here,
so treat us with some dignity,
let us live without the fear.
Please arm and pay us properly,
from death we are not exempt,
give us what we need to fight,
stop treating us with contempt,
We are ordinary human beings,
doing an extraordinary task,
what we require is your support,
is that too much to ask?
We'll fight the world over,
in order that we can secure,
freedom, liberty and democracy,
of that you can be sure.
But we need the right equipment,
shortages mean death,
do you care you could be responsible,
for a squaddies one last breath.
While you're fiddling your expenses,
then complaining about being grilled,
that money you are taking,
could prevent us being killed.
So get your act together now,
give us what we need,
your petty political nonsense,
in nothing but sheer greed.
Stop all your bloody selfishness,
your false pathetic sighing,
for want of the right equipment,
our soldiers here are dying.
You are just a bunch of parasites,
who deserve to be pistol whipped,
while you lot line your pockets
you leave us ill equipped.
Yes we are more than willing,
to sacrifice our lives,
if it leads to a better future,
for our children, husbands, wives.
But all we ask of you is,
to keep us well supplied,
if you'd ensured this happened,
less people would have died.
Front line forces are a breed apart,
we do not look for favours,
to be properly armed and ready to go,
is all that a soldier savours?
If you're prepared to start a war,
then afford us the right resources,
this failure to recognise us properly is,
' A Betrayal Of Your Brave Forces '
