Our Eulogy, Their Creed
By: Joseph Cruz and Stanley Switalski
They infiltrate and they annihilate.
Some are diffident, but become impervious
Due to this surreptitious war.
These soldiers are America’s best,
Aplomb in every battle.
Fighting a desultory war,
We sing this song to laud them.
These soldiers are caught in a perpetual fiasco,
And they face several quandaries.
No matter how much they deplore this unnecessary war,
They comply to every demand.
“Suppress! Oppress!
We cannot compromise,
And you must not have remorse.
Smite them to oblivion,
For they are deleterious!”
These words mitigate their situation.
They strategically rectify the war.
Although the sordid commander believes the world shouts in jubilation
Whenever they hear these words.
These words only build our enmity.
[Chorus ("Suppress, Oppress...")]
But the soldiers must follow these words.
And so they pretend to become equable, stolid and recusant.
Yet inside they remain arid, petulant and diffident.
[Chorus]
So here is our subversive eulogy.
To those who “substantiate” our country,
to those who are recluse from their everyday lives.
Your courage is exorbitant
And your dedication is memorable.
But most of all your stamina,
to deal with the torture, battles and false promises,
will never be forgotten.
