BEAT THE DRUM!

I received the following poem from my trusted and loyal friend Aggro Saxon - I think it makes a fine tribute to Lee Rigby and other murdered soldiers who have fell before at the hands of terrorists on our mainland, and in Ulster.

BEAT THE DRUM!

A SOLDIER LAID THERE DYING,
ANOTHER BLOODIED SON
ONE MORE LONDON STREET AWASH
WITH REDDENED RIVER RUN

THE DRUMS OF WAR ARE BEATING
FOR A HEART THAT BEATS NO MORE
FOR DRUMMER LEE RIGBY MURDERED
AND THOSE THAT WENT BEFORE

FOR EVERY BRAVE AND NOBLE SOUL
WHO'S LIFE BLOOD HAS BEEN SHED
BEAT THE DRUM, BEAT THE DRUM
 FOR THE DYING AND THE DEAD

WHO IS BRAVE IN BATTLE -
AND WHO WILL RUN AND HIDE?
THE ENEMY, THE EVIL,
THE CURSE OF WHITE MANKIND

HARK - WHEN YOU HEAR THE WAR DRUMS BEATING
GET ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAY
AS THE WHITE MAN'S DRUMS WON'T MISS A BEAT
UNTIL YOUR DYING DAY

Aggro Saxon
