Conscription

The boys wanted to stay at home

From their families they didn’t want to roam

They didn’t want to enlist

To be part of the military fist

But they didn’t have a choice

No one would listen to their voice

So they were forced into conscription

Into a life with no description

Everyday they were treated dumber

For two years they were enslaved

And everyone had to be brave

Off into battle they had to go

What would happen, they didn’t know
