When in the course of human events
a government makes clear
it is not bound by the same rules
it makes all else adhere,
when Citizens with grievance it
portrays as angry mob,
less-Free Men whisper, voices low,
“Armed Forces, do your job.”
When tax collectors tyrants tell
target any dissent,
while loyal propagandist pets
broadcast red herring scent
to demonize The People who
their masters rack and rob,
less-Free Men dare to speak out loud,
“Armed Forces, do your job.”
When Oath and Office are abused
as glib oblige noblesse,
when scandals fast and furious flow
yet no perp need confess,
when Generals, Admirals, Whistlers
are sacked lest they raise hob,
less-Free Men shout with last free breath,
“Armed Forces, do your job.”
With Right we damn this ruling class
inept, corrupt, absurd,
who swear their Oaths then “transform” us
from the First World to Third,
but You Who Serve that same Oath swore
yet watch without a sob
Armed Forces, do your job.
Lest to Heaven We Slaves Appeal,
Armed Forces, do your job.
