Watch this video if you want to know what are the words to the poem Boots
About the poem: "Boots" imagines the repetitive thoughts of a British Army infantryman forced to march in South Africa during the Second Boer War. It has been said that if the first four words in each line are read at the rate of two words to the second, that gives the time to which a British foot soldier was accustomed to march.

used to drive a cadillac - now i'm doing the back-hack. one-two-three-four...

We watched history and vowed not to repeat it. They watched and saw an executable plan. 😠 😤

You can feel the mental wear of war Rudyard Kipling was trying to illustrate.

I still feel like the person who spoke the poem in the 28 years later trailer is not this person the person vocalizing it in the trailer sounds more like Charlie Chaplin.
