You watch our contempt for you
Still you protect us
We feed you our anger and rage
Still you watch over us
We hurt you with our words and actions
Still you keep us safe
We treat you worse than animals
Still you fight for us
We punish you for protecting us
Still you give us your lives
We burn it in front of you
We tell you to get out
We call you names
We throw things at you
You cry in blood, sweat and honor
You are the few, you are the proud, you are the might and you are the breath
We don’t deserve you or your service
