Boys, not even men,
practice an age old tradition.
To wear matching uniforms,
and to blindly follow a flag to its submission.

And to the death,
the leader would say,
the boys followed accordingly,
with no delay.

And so the day of reckoning is at hand,
the leaders gives a final command
to satisfy this blood lust and rage, and bring honor to your grave

"Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Have they not been made such a fool in their squalor?

For they desired a sign and sought for the wise

When the precursor of life was right in front of their eyes" - Wolves at the Gate
