In Unison

Authority is true power.
Discipline used to enforce.
Nationalism the tower
to view collective desire.

Left, left, a left right left.
Left, left, a left right left.
Left, left, a left right left.
Left, left, a left right left.

At first there is a high.
Boots marching in unison.
Together towards a goal.
Where it leads, only history knows.

Feel the rhythm under your feet.
To move as one, the individual gone.
Stories told and retold.
Mass graves litter forgotten streets.

High unemployment the catalyst.
Social injustice the deceptive fist.
Both incendiary risks.
Explosive when unattended.

Left, left, a left right left.
Left, left, a left right left.
Left, left, a left right left.
Left, left, a left right left.

I am American.
No longer lacking discipline.
Proud of our military.
Happiest when in formation.
