To Break the South We continue on We leave behind a trail Of splintered homes The women & children hide behind the burning fires Men glare and stare at the horizon Looking for grey But they are alone, defenseless Salvation is distant We plunder through, leaving behind our wake of destruction A rift through Georgia But why do we care for they are not broken? They continue on so we shut them down Their morale will prevail Tenacious, they are Their boldness infuriates me Why won't they break? I feel no shame They broke my brothers Vengeance is mine I let it all out They soon want no more They will drop their last glimmer of hope
Dear Family, The first year has past now, and thank God I'm no casualty to this rotten war (dang First Sergeant Cobb must be rubbing off on me). Many people have died or sent home due to injury and everyone acts like I should care, if it's not me left to the hogs in the forests and fields I'm fine. I look forward to the day I can come home and see your faces.
