Mass Transit

Where is the mass transit sending people to? Dispatch of souls to places unknown See the loading ramp down by the barracks A place to herd them into vehicles What type vehicles and for what use? A bus to drive them to a spar resort A truck to take them to the firing squad A space shuttle to take them off world A plane to ferry them to a new colony All this and more to relocate humans Orders given from up above carried out Adding up the numbers of people shifted Under command of the always ready soldiers Commanded by a ruthless bastard officer Look back into the past and compare Just like the trains at the death camps Remember what happened then History repeats itself over and over
