We watched from our hovels
As the heroes marched proudly past
Tired and dirty, but they’d fought well
We’re gonna win this thing at last
But another day, I saw one
Staggering in the night
He’d seen too much, hurt too deep
Maybe not a match for this fight
In casual conversation
Another one revealed to me
He wasn’t in it for the principle
(Not with words, but plain to see)
Next time we huddled
With the battle looming near
I wasn’t so confident
About the results we’d hear
"E.S.D.C." stands for Election, Scandal, Disillusionment, and Cynicism, one word titles for each paragraph.
