Disobeying Military Order

A stiffly worded instruction 
That should commence with a ruction,
Opening fire; next action,
Lifeless Bodies sole attraction...

But then what of Reconstruction?
Easier to crush than to rebuild
Either as one man or a guild;
Often tough to achieve a Peace Talk
When you've had a real long bad walk
From my lips A loud "Correct Sir!"
But I was shaken down to my fur…

From there straight to Repented's Church
I'll be there waiting for their search!
They'll me pick up plus my letter:
A Resignation's not later...

Disobeying military order:
Pure risk but could be in order.

Interesting write. A life taken, but reconstruction nil easier to crush. Heavy words for thought. Enjoyed reading
