(A Soldier Died Today)
by A. Lawrence Vaincourt, 1985

And he sat around the Legion, telling stories of the past


For he lived an ordinary and quite uneventful life.

When politicians leave this earth, their bodies lie in state,
While thousands note their passing and proclaim that they were great.
But the passing of a soldier goes unnoticed and unsung.

Is the greatest contribution to the welfare of our land
A guy who breaks his promises and cons his fellow man?
Goes off to serve his Country and offers up his life?

A politician's stipend and the style in which he lives
Are sometimes disproportionate to the service that he gives.
While the ordinary soldier, who offered up his all,

It was not the politicians, with their compromise and ploys,
Who won for us the freedom that our Country now enjoys.

Would you want a politician with his ever-shifting stand?
Or would you prefer a soldier, who has sworn to defend

Is to clean up all the troubles that the politicians start.

Perhaps just a simple headline in a paper that would say,
Our Country is in mourning, for a soldier died today
