All soldiers are great and brave
Except the ones that many cowards
Use to commit crimes against the enslaved
Citizens, who disobey the laws of the fake lords.
Many so-called law enforcers are not soldiers
If they were, they would have been more righteous
Because good soldiers fought against the palavers
Of the criminals and the injustices of the bad judges.
"Old soldiers never die", said the old adage
Old soldiers have fought against tyranny
Old brave soldiers have fought for liberty.
All good soldiers are trained to defeat injustice
Though not all in military uniforms are sage
And disciplined like warriors who yearn for peace.
