The village elders are assembled
at the cemetery outside of town
Stale refreshments are served
on this once hallowed ground
Compliments
of the gun toting hosts of this dance
The Progress Squad
are charged with the patriotic task
to force the vanquished to face the facts
about a transition opportunity
A once in a lifetime chance
to exit this weary existence
with a shred of dignity intact
Fake negotiations have been tried
Coercive means will now be applied
Even staler pronouncements are made
by the revolutionary captain
Informing the chained prisoners
that they are no longer part of the plan
The elderly are simply too cost ineffective
A drain on our great economy
They are the scapegoats of yesterday
The lame who are slowing down the herd
Charred wreckage to be cleared
Humane arrangements have been made
Just sign on the bloody line
Shovels and coffins will be supplied
To bury this obsolete generation
as if they were never here
