I am the Cavalry.

O’er the hill the rampant stampede

and the sound of thundering hooves,

as the mighty men of steel and armour,

hasten their steeds with all passion and eagerness,

to have at the fray in which their fellows are in

deadlock with the enemy.

 

Following the noble banner as it

twists and bends under the speed

of the horsemen’s noble steeds.

as edging ever nearer to the battlefield.

 

Then, with a shout of ardent Patriotism,

and the silent but deadly ring of cold steel,

the beating hooves trample,

as the swift sleek movements of the sword

befell the helpless enemy troopers and drones,

sent like sheep into a slaughterhouse,

and hence few shall return unscathed,

for these generals havent the decency for

diplomacy and discussion,

only to make ****** war.

 

And should they have cause to panic or fear,

they shall hastily mutter such words as these,

“Send in the cavalry!”,

and with little argument, we shall go,

over the hill in a stampede of

death and glory,

like the Valkyries,

we shall ride,

and hasten the deaths of they,

my generals enemies.

 

I am their last resort,

I am the cavalry.
