Front liners Die just to keep us Alive.

They risk Everything and yet you give them Nothing.

Protecting your fragile Fame when everyone else can see your Shame


In a time when we need Humility, Accountability, Leadership and Trust,

You only showed us Ego, Diversions, Arrogance and Ignorance.

We needed hope but you gave us Fear.

Our attempts to Unite are met with your acts of Division.


Are we not your people?

Are we simply Pawns in a game of Power?

How much longer will you keep treating us like disposable tools?

How much more blood will you spill just to keep the machine running?

When will we be seen as Humans rather than Dogs?


Stop filling your Bellies and turning a blind eye to us,

Especially when your people are begging and Starving at your expense.

Stop giving us Lies just to save your face

Start giving us the Truth to save our lives


If not

If we burn, drown, fall or get shot

Then you have killed the Future to protect your archaic Past

And trust me, we will drag you down with us.


Let the Silence of the Dead speak Louder for those fighting to be Alive.
