MAJOR MARK
Beep boop
March the
Troops down
The yellow
Valley, in
Their shoes
And under
Rocks are
Homesick
Alleys. Tanks
And guns
On heavens
Hums lighting
Up the night
Angel dark
And face stark
In fact
We’ll fight!
Beep Boop
March the troops
Down the
Yellow valley
All the towns
Hide their sounds
And sing to
the babies
Nothing here
Face fear
Please don’t take our children!
In the dark
You’re now
Major Mark so
Stand at
Attention
