Write a story or poem titled 'Chains'.

Chains

This is the chain of command, respect it

Disasters you weren’t told were possible? Expect it

The values we preach but dont practice? Reflect it

See someone threatening order? Confess it


You have a duty to your people!

You will work with us against evils!

You will remember to treat us as regal!

You will l now the road to utopia is not peaceful!


You are branded by your chains

You will make it so your fellow man’s the same

Cast them to the flames

Why do good when we can be so great?


Fight amongst each other! We’ll defend and supply

And reflect and deny

And eject and defile

Any false leaders you’ve left to defy


Stay chained until chains aren’t needed

You’ll have chained yourselves to the graves of the defeated

Respect the chain of command, respect your leaders

Once the red has dried, the grass will be greener
