Springfield 5th ROD just over on saturday

initially hoped to rally springfield seniors to the cause

but when i wanted to open my mouth

i realised they are not the people i want to talk to

it may sound all the way seems wrong

but.

i do not feel burning passion

nor fighting spirit

nor the will to help the band do well.

I felt none of those

No encouraging words could come from my mouth

No blood rushing to my heart and soul

None.

From this 40 odd seniors present.

I felt none.

But except for the some.

The particular some

i find them at my side in anticipation for this battle.

One of our darkest hour.

It was at the dinner table i see maybe not defying passion

but undying will.

Will that needs someone to pull them through.

At this table i saw Mingzhen, Jack, Geraldine, Esther, Joseph, Wei Siang, Jasper.

Leaders of the "Old Guards" i might call

In them i can feel my blood flow into my heart and soul

To let loose inspiration and determination.

Yes its a war on many fronts

Teachers (the 3 bitches i heard)

Members, their attitude

Leaders, training them to be worthy of Lead, Serve, Protect, Nurture

Possible internal strife of seniors

But hey,

i say we will defend our fronts and win the war.

For today, i am not alone anymore

There is no road for us to take now

We will carve our own road.

We will succeed

No.....

WE MUST SUCCEED!
