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.
