These are just some poem's that I thought were fitting.

"Epitaph On An Army Of Mercenaries" by AE Housman
These, in the day when heaven was falling,
The hour when Earth's foundations fled,
Followed their mercenary calling
And took their wages and are dead.
Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
They stood and the earth's foundations stay;
What God abandoned, these defended,
And saved the sum of things for pay.

"SEAL Lullaby" by Rudyard Kipling
Oh, hush thee, my baby, the might is behind us,
And black are the waters that sparkled so green.
The ma, o'er the combers, looks downward to find us.
At the rest in the hollows that rustle between.
Where the billow meets billow, there soft be thy pillow;
Ah, weary wee flipperling, curl at thy ease!
The storm shall not wake thee, nor shark overtake thee
Asleep in the arms of the slow swinging seas.
