Click hereWe start as boys
fresh from the womb..
into a woman's arms we're laid
a cold hard world to meet
we're taught
right from the start
to ignore pain
tears are for women, not for men
our mothers, they made us
fathers, they trained us
body to an angle...full fist
to the opponent
through our lives
time and time again
pain is nothing feeling is a weakness
all is an opponent
then we're thrown
to nature's basics
and we learn to please
work hard and place first
again the message
from society and women
"if ya want me"...damn sure
better be the "He"
and so I learned well
trained above the class
one hell of a soldier
till my last breath
show me a goal
be damn sure I achieve it
show me a land
be damn sure I conquer it
but deep down inside
the tears they run
deep down inside
the feelings won't shun
the ballad of man
true to us
valor ages old
to few instilled
but to those few
whom I number
hard lines...hard muscles
will endure us
a world changed so fast
but still the handful
the past has raised
carry a torch
and so I say
in these closing verses
train your eyes, your heart
to observance
for here we stand
proud as the way we was raised
it's the ballad of man
from which hero's are made
it's the ballad of man
when all is at an end
that will carry this race
to the next millenium

Our wonderful military making the best of a bad situation created by politicians. As to the future ~ perhaps what we need is more statesmen.
A rather harsh description of the way boys are raised into men, which no longer applies.
