Onward Christian soldiers
Marching off to war
You were created to solve
Societies ills
But now you got to kill
Like you never killed before
We will tell you who
to despatch and why
Why in gOds will
it’s justified
to ignore your heart
accept the lies
Celebrate this day?
Your innocence dies!
Onward Christian soldiers
Marching off to war
You have never been corrupted
by us like this before

Your ability to capture the hypocrisy of war in such a simple yet direct way makes this a very powerful poem! Well done!

Thanks. Much appreciated. A shame not more commonly seen. Your poem also made me feel that way. Nice to hear another voice of similar tone.
