  you forget, dear Poet
  many more, 'of Us'
  are busy
  pushing our neighbours
  off-of life's ladder, just
  to get one more step, closer
  before we can start
  being chosen for elevated
  enslavement..
  yeah, that's the herd majority
  we represent
  that's how much our mind's have been warped
  we wage wars, child vs child
  while those in power
  get doctor's notes for their children
  or have them placed in officer roles
  like, safe at the back of the line
  like royalty, that love displaying
  their soldier uniforms
  as-if, their existence is a service
  for us...
  yeah..
  yeahhh, right? lol
  well here's to your pristine uniforms
  coming our of battles, as spotless
  as they entered them
  so you cam visit, veteran hospitals
  like 'equals'
  yeah
  yeahhh, right? lol
  'For it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "Chuck him out, the brute!"
  But it's "Saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot;
  An' it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' anything you please;
  An' Tommy ain't a bloomin' fool -- you bet that Tommy sees!'
  from Kipling's 'Tommy'

  )
  and we're all just modern 'Tommy's'
  waiting for our turn, to be useful
  that's how, warped
  'they've' devalued the worth of a
  life
  nihilism and atheism as their tools
  enslaving us
  with our very tools for self-emancipated
  freedom...
