Mama Bear
John David Walsh 2001 (Boston)
What business do kids have in war?
Why dont more take on the chore
To shield young minds of our mess
Not enough care to address
A female soldier, men will doubt
Whispers of weakness were passed about
But in one act of ruthlessness
No quicker way was a rumor dismissed
In a flurry of blood and hair,
Not only foes, but friends watched in despair,
All we could do was stand and stare
Dont f*ck with mama bear
