A. K. A. F. A. D. Series V: To Protect & Defend

Do you solemnly (swear/affirm) that you will tell the truth, the whole truth & nothing but the truth...

So help me, God
Cling the sod,
I am no longer in the fog of war,
Soar like an eagle,
Grasp the globe,
Embed your anchor,
Now, put on your armor,
Your mission is not over,

I was left for dead,
Either way you look at the past,
Bypass the situation,
Preparation for the outcome is the same,
Swallow the pill or die from the affection,
Affliction tells you, the grenade goes off,
Soft landing, forget about it, you take the damage,
Homage for the action, you wonder who all made it,
Forget about it, everyone took the poison,
Solution, cover it up, its duty & honor, its protect & defend,
In the end, remember you are just an expendable tool,
A pool of America's finest fighting force,
Resource, a silent voice, you made that choice,
Recoil, the ringing in the ears is not white noise,
Poise, for a moment the vertigo is not seasickness,
Wickedness, this Mefloquine is a psychedelic disabling, walking dead acid trip,

So help me, God
Cling the sod,
I am no longer in the fog of war,
Soar like an eagle,
Grasp the globe,
Embed your anchor,
Now, put on your armor,
Your mission is not over,

A plot like Hamlet, you run the gamut,
A soliloquy of such to contemplate,
Some innate behavior, except its drug induced,
Seduced by the neurologic or the psychiatric,
Tick tock, its MEF around the clock,
Lock the Glock, you might die from the shock,
Mock the doc, flock around & play Russian roulette, you're A O K,
Pay to play, its not Procter & Gamble,
Ample samples by Lariam,
You go straight to delirium,
Lock the door, throw away the key,
See & meet your terror, some spaced out horror,
Who is the controller, its not you, its me,
See its me, not you in the mirror,
A Transformer, a delusional tripped out primitive illusion,
Conclusion, you are in a state of confusion,

So help me, God
Cling the sod,
I am no longer in the fog of war,
Soar like an eagle,
Grasp the globe,
Embed your anchor,
Now, put on your armor,
Your mission is not over,

Its not over, its not over
Its not over, its not over...

This ain't no Shakeperean, Act 3 Scene 1:

To die, to sleep, perchance to dream

Scream, I want to scream, seems we have a failure to communicate,
To dictate policy over the lives of those who protect & defend,
Send us to war, & roll the dice,
Put us on ice, while we go on living the price,
Sacrifice is freedom, what is condemnation,
Who is to question the price of freedom,
Seldom, why we ask for help, delve in the moment,
Put yourselves in the moment, the torment,
Torrent sea, when do the eyes see,
To be or not be, the auxiliary factor,
I need a Doctor, a Governor, a Senator,
A benefactor to stop, calibrate & listen:

Its not over, its not over
Its not over, its not over...
