Soldier Boy

These are the words of wisdom from the captain
To a worrying boy in love with a beauty
His heart so open to be united to her forever

What then shall be of you my boy?
You who knows not to hide when you love
What remedy for the bug that got you on this path

They got games they label love that you must play
No one comes out in the open with a love declaration
Your emotions must be discreet like the African fathers

Assuring her of the tomorrow you’ve never seen
Accruing a zillion gadgets for the important course
In need of captain’s experience to hunt for her heart

A new identity is prerequisite my boy
A boy soldier in a crude world you become
The image of the steady and strong warrior assumed

You with an open heart must take cover
To the caves you must run and hide your heart
A mortal warrior waging war for love without your heart
