PHILOSOPHY

"I knew a simple solider boy who grinned through life with empty joy, slept soundly through the lonesome dark and whistled early with the lark. In winter trenches cowed and glum with crumps and lice and lack of rum he put a bullet to his brain and no one heard of him again. You smug faced crowd of kindling eye who watch as solider boys march by, creep home and pray you'll never know the place where youth and laughter go".
