"Threading in the Mud"


“Threading in the Mud”

cji
8/24/17

Incessant rainfall days on end
finding mud where once roads
dreary soldiers marched on
sickness disseminating troops
long years between 1773-1785
cold, rains, snow, ice, movement
from field to field fighting battles
long periods of solitude searching
never as in the movies of today
no clean clothes or even soap
yet fight they did over and over
battle to battle never giving up
unknown to the complainers
the left of today’s extremes
only adding to the mud/filth
throwing right away for lust
threading in the mud today
destroying all freedoms
unknowing where from
and sacrifices made then
amid the incessant rainfalls!
