Most, if not all, human beings
Some way some how behavior learned
Are capable of acts of violence
These however were not earned
A tragic incident or sad part of life
Suffering for years and loss unexplained
Something else grows inside those minds
Resolving to never feel that again
It is not evil inside the person
Causing them to know they will act
Whenever their sanity is threatened
Choosing never to repeat their pain a fact
The mindset developed is perfect
Highly trainable this nation to defend
These minds resolved for combat
Proud and eager until the end
Our nation will need military might
When needed our nation will embrace
Utilizing that mindset which now dwells inside
Until with a social worker they are replaced
In service to the nation celebrated by all
Until that service is no longer desired
Now that mindset harms the quiet society
Their use no longer required
This nation won’t need their warrior strength
Civilians can no longer even tolerate
Recruited and trained for the offensive
These warriors no longer have a place
Counselors diagnose and try to describe
Using acronyms and euphemisms of all kinds
Others make monsters of the mentioned
Seeking to heal their troubled minds
Society has made monsters of these few
For facing trouble that repeatedly will occur
Treated as damaged goods even though
There was no opportunity to demur
Though considered damaged goods
We’ll find strength in avoiding that loss
Which made us into “monsters” to mold
We will seek to defeat the initial cause
