“Silence in Combat”

 

“Silence in Combat”

 

cji

10/27/12

 

Heard the rolling thunder

drums and fifes long ago

bugles in the morning air

then in the evening taps;

 

While marching and drill

horses to be tamed to ride

shouting and screaming

closing in combat close;

 

Today is heard silence

jungles and swamps alive

deserts and wildernesses

house to house to house;

 

Day and night engaged

enemy disguised within

hiding in religious clothes

creating silence in combat!
