1.
It is progress
To install spooks and minions
And set armies marching.
2.
Thunder booms from the earth:
The image of Enthusiasm.
The old kings made music
To honor triumphs and merit,
And offered it free
To the world,
Up to and including
The Scoutmaster
Of all Scoutmasters.
3.
The music rises to the troposphere
And drifts into near space
And the ancient ancestors.
4.
You gather your friends
Around you
Like a shock of wheat,
Like a bulwark
Or a last ditch bivouac
In the cold rain and snow.
