ex-army join the police (Iraq in Austin
Everywhere becomes a nightmare war game
Civilians in the middle of cross fire
become refugees barred at every port of call
Borders sealed by violence/so that waves
of human migration sink into the sea
We are human,seeking only to be free
This is as close as radiation in our food chain
Displacement of civilian culture via military
Black budgets allow new wars to prosper
while teachers/librarians ask to be redeemed
We can still choose to mirror freedom-
release us from the prisons of our needs
No uniforms,no guns,no digital drones-
just freedom of speech and assembly.
Before you say this is idle dreaming
kindly read again your Constitution
Your Bill of Rights is due-who will be paying?
Civilian culture is our only guarantee
