A soldier can never

A soldier can never
Be blamed for killing,
As murder,
That’s why you employed one,
In the first place
Once a soldier,
Now a prisoner
In the ICU ward
Oh what a place
He must have been a coward,
To come out alive
Or else he would have died
With grace
And
The national flag
On his body they'd place.
Now he sulks
Asks for whisky
They give him a treat
But say you can’t even go for a pissy
You deserve it soldier
For coming home alive
And
For the sake of amity
You didn't then die.
Well soldier you were,
Now tis time to say
Good bye.
