SEE YOU AT TEN
By Major Mark Smith (Retired)

I SAW YOU SMIRKING ON THE NEWS AT TEN--

MAKING A JOKE OF THE WORK OF BETTER MEN.

FROM BLACKWATER TO THAT SNIPER BRAVE--
YOU CALLED THEM ALL THE MURDEROUS KNAVE.

FROM THAT ARAB CHANNEL TO TURNER'S CNN--
THEY SULLY THE NAME OF BETTER MEN.

DAN RATHER WAS BACK AND PREPARED TO LIE--
MAKING LIBERAL HAY WHILE GOOD MEN DIE.

SNIPERS BULLETS AND A DEADLY HAIL OF FIRE--
REPORTED BY A POMPOUS PUNK AND PROVEN LIAR.

YOU SPEAK OF HOW THINGS OUGHT TO BE--
BUT YOU'RE IN 'STOLEN VALOR' FOR ALL TO SEE.

YOU MADE BUSH'S SERVICE SEEM SO OBSCENE--
BUT YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT AS A MARINE.

YOU SPEAK OF HONOR AND STAND SO TALL--
THEN STAND IN SILENCE WHEN THEY SULLY OUR WALL.

YOU MULTIPLY THE NUMBERS OF MY ENEMY--
BUT THOUSANDS OF VETERANS YOU CANNOT SEE.

SO I TURNED YOU OFF AGAIN TONIGHT--
I NO LONGER COULD BEAR THE SORRY SIGHT--

SO LAUGH AND JOKE AT THE LEFTIST LODGE--
I WILL PRAY FOR THOSE IN CAMOUFLAGE--

IN DREAMS I HEAR THE HORSEMAN YELL--
SUMMONING YOU TO A FIREY HELL.

BUT YOU'LL BE BACK TONIGHT AT TEN--
DAMNING THE NAMES OF BETTER MEN.
