"Semper Fidelis"
Is a fabulous Latin
Motto meaning that in
Centuries of Roman might
The soldier swore that he would fight
For Caesar.
Never questioning if he
Might return or if the
Enemy when they attack
Could be driven aback –
And that's what it means.
"We're ever faithful"
Is the general gist in
Countries that are Christian
Though it means almost the same
We pledge no longer to the name
Of Caesar,
But to principles of the
Land we know and
Love, be-
Stowing the motto in war
Of our readiest corps –
The mighty Marines.
Men are dutiful to
Things contradictory –
Loving all that is beautiful –
Knowing battle and victory.
They expect
Our expressions benedictory,
And they find it
Perplexing and vexing and odd
When we are shocked.
They've forgotten the old
Established verities,
Seeking only for fame and gold,
Seeing only disparities.
Those who warship the
One true God are rarities
Who remember the
Biblical saying that God
Will not be mocked!
When the call
To the true believer
Comes from the church of God
Will they all
In their heart receive Him
Go where he bids them trod?
Will the men
Who appear deserving,
Who to their faith are true,
Answer when
They are called to serving,
Do what she bids them do?
For many men profess their loyalty
To true democracy
Yet bow to mockery
And bend the knees to aristocracy,
For to live their creed
Their need is small.
And many men proclaim their worthiness,
Display their lowliness,
Disclaim their earthiness.
Oh give us strength to seek true holiness,
And in word and deed to heed the call!
