Twenty-two today

Twenty-two tomorrow

Our brothers

Our sisters

Still lay on the battlefield

And none of their wounds tended,

Left to fester,

And rot

Your safe now

Take my hand

I have your six,

You are not alone

You are not twenty-two

You are not twenty-one

You are not nineteen

You are not eighteenth 

You are not seventeenth 

You are not sixteenth 

You are not fifteenth

You are not fourteenth 

You are not thirteenth 

You are not twelfth 

You are not eleventh 

You are not tenth

You are not ninth

You are not eighth

You are not seventh 

You are not sixth

You are not fifth

You are not fourth

You are not third

You are not second

You are not the first.
