Die Not for No Country, or No Man

James J Jackson

Image

Fetch the strong

armor,

Prepare, prepare for

anything.

Stock pile your Beecher’s

Bibles and

Fill the shed wit

food.

Stand and deliver

look at the whites of

his eyes as bayonet

enters his liver.

This is no time to cringe.

God is on our side

and god is with you.

You are the heroes

You are the victors

You are.  Do not show

doubt or fear.

Die not for your country,

but your enemy his.
