Drafted

Camel

Nude's thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door. The

postman muttered something about wishing he could go too

and handed over a yellow envelope.

It was a command long overdue that called for healthy,

young men.



In reply to your request,

please find...

I hereby protest.

To the ways and means you use

you know...

I cannot refuse.



So I'll take this vow

of Loyalty.

Fight for the right,

You have said,

To be free.



When this time has run its course,

I must...

Live without remorse.

For the deeds I'm bound to do,

I know...

it's all the same to you.



But I won't forget

the memory...

Taking a life,

for a life...

to be free.
