Spartans
Militated orders invoke his presence,
stressed actions, but not of vengeance,
serving a cause to polemics referent;
joining a service to patriotism adherent.
He is a mercenary; inviolable soldier,
tending guard in his country's corners,
on Earth's crepuscular void bleeding,
twines engagement to twilight receding.
A Mountain Raids Squadron Sergeant,
carries an M16A4 rifle, an M9 handgun,
an MK2 knife, rounds. apt tools in a fight,
perceptual experience, technical might;
Coarse, wild animal's thinking tracking,
reading signs on any ground, attacking,
to finish a combat in seconds at onset,
or in martial lightning of a cool mindset.
Perchance a soul's amatory sentiments,
will protect him preceding contingents,
invisible aegis before darkened destiny,
a Spartan lady smiles, her eyes in agony,
As every year rangers march on parade,
on 25th of March, ethnic freedom's day,
amid tears she calls, his march to adhere,
maid happily heralds, 'He is always here'!
