"Are you squared away recruit?"
"Sir, yes sir... I be squared away."
"You best be recruit or they'll be hell to pay."
a way of life I soon discovered was everywhere
as so many of them were military born
or military raised in their mental cleverness;
it is a living you owe them or they you
nevertheless it is still one of heedlessness
but we imagine the worst and expect better
finding only the Lord's salvation and
while we are waiting that to occur
getting squared away is what we be doin'.
