Oliver's Army
Haiku Number Three From Song Lyrics
I have a goal of 50 days - 50 haikus - responding to 50 different songs. These are songs with lyrics that I feel close to. Number Three is Oliver's Army by Elvis Costello.
Elvis Costello - Oliver’s Army
Oliver’s Army
Young boys sent to war
Traded for an empire
Drums mark their final march.
