Drafted

Nudes thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door

The postman muttered something about wishing he could go too

And handed over a yellow envelope

It was a command long overdue that called for healthy

Young men

In reply to your request

Please find

I hereby protest

To the ways and means you use

You know

I cannot refuse

So I'll take this vow

Of loyalty

Fight for the right

You have said

To be free

When this time has run its course

I must

Live without remorse

For the deeds I'm bound to do

I know

It's all the same to you

But I won't forget

The memory

Taking a life

For a life

To be free
