Really, really got my head messed up in Iraq, but
eventually I got a Medal of Bravery for killing people-
(Veterans are soon forgotten.) Searching for help
on line, a revolution group put twisted ideas in my head, and
let me find a use for my soldier skills and a purpose for my life,
Until then my entire existence in civilized society had been meaningless,
then, I heard the sublime message to kill-
It didn't take long to legally gather up some big guns, then
on a bright summer day, I went on a rogue killing spree, where
no one is left standing,. All is quiet for a moment then I am killed too.
