A Few Kind Thoughts for Roman Soldiers

 

If you have stood your watch throughout the night

To guard a clothesline of national importance

Dug foxholes only to fill them up again

And then patrolled through long days in the heat

 

If you have enjoyed Cinderella Liberty

And talking about poetry and girls

With a few mates down at the coffee shop

Because that’s all your poor pay can afford

 

You will then understand the conscript guards

Posted to keep order on Calvary
