(There are soldiers everywhere...not just in the armed forces)
Take notice of incumbent air,
bedecked with bandits' glorious grime
Reflected deep in falsehood's flair,
while blind tin soldiers step in time.
Step in time to battle's drums
Focused minds, on soulless beat
Marching on while hope becomes
a senseless drone of calloused feet.
Calloused feet that trample by,
intent on crushing all below,
Obeying thoughtless orders, high
yet brainwashed, so that they don't know.
They don't know that all they do
to buoy such hardship and neglect,
leads to an end they'll suffer too,
as puppets of the 'great select'
The great select, a chosen few,
(believed to be untouchable)
May find dissent, a faith which grew
to wholly incorruptible.

Another way to look at it is Heilbroner's analogy of the world population all riding on the same train headed for the brink. The poorest in the front of the train going off the cliff first, but the wealthy, thinking they are safe in the rear of the train, are pulled off with a rich with no regard for their status for financial power.

Interesting perspective concerning the men and women in the armed forces.
Enjoyed reading ...
