Ultimate Betrayal

You promised.
We helped you.
We risked everything to help you.
You promised safety.

You promised, you gave your word for our allegiance.
You left us behind
You abandoned us.

Now we’re hunted.
Now we’re killed.

What do you do to help us now?

You gave your word.
You promised.

You LIED.
