this is me, sharpening my tools.
this is me, with my war paint on.

this is me, cowardly and meek.
this is me, drinking warm milk.

this is me, sacrificing a country.
this is me, the young general.

this is me, making battle plans.
this is me, consoling a strategist.
this is me, losing my scientist.

this is me, shouting words of courage!
these are my knights, twiddling their thumbs.

this is me, marching my men.
this is me, the young general.

this is me, learning new skills.
this is you, already unamused by war.
