They have been told
their country need them
to be the protectors against
these people that despise them.
The latter were never defined,
the list kept becoming bigger as
they nodded along without a care,
they forget they have a future later.
The future will end up different;
they know this for an absolute fact.
They are already looking for an excuse,
which will have given them a fine reprieve.
‘So what was the point here again?’
‘Someone’s power got challenged.’
