Once you wept with Walter
Set aside your abhorrence of Camelot
And clung to Fairness until Truth no longer served you
Once you honored Dover’s dead
Not manipulating and abusing our soldiers
And consuming the mighty military for your agenda
Once you believed in Choices
Before Rush, Glenn and Sean nourished your contempt
For anyone not like you
Once you loved without attaching strings
Before clan controlled your false superiority
And family pride rode on disdain for “Others”
Once you opened your hearth and home
Until your religiosity distorted your soul
To armor you behind gates with guns
