SOLDIER ON OPERATIONS
A soldier on operations clearing the route
Treading ground carefully with his military boot
An IED war that’s hard to control
They do their best while on patrol.
Many bombs planted everyday
Beneath the soil refusing to decay
The slightest pressure it will explode
Death is certain for all on the road.
Yet still our soldiers risk their lives
In armoured vehicles they do drive
Along dangerous roads, minefields’ they are
Searching the routes long and far.
Some lives are lost and many wounded
Sadly a few tragically executed
The war will continue it never stops
It remains forever a constant backdrop.
