boots on the ground
boots on the ground

to save America
the Army of Northern Virginia
and its divine General
needs
   boots on
the ground

so they have headed into town
looking for cobblers
having
no boots at all

no way
to save America
without boots
on the ground

the town
now swarming
with gray and
butternut brown

fixing their feet
whilst another America
is moving towards them
a blue America
bitterly opposed
to schism

which might not
want to watch
from a distance
as slavery bleeds
the heart
for another
thousand years

boots on the ground
meeting boots on the ground

one way
or another
America will be decided
over the next three days
