I salute you, my Generals!
For the courage you show,
in bombarding your own people - killing them like pests.
Only you have the courage, my Generals,
to see school children with limbs torn apart,
and continue bombarding,
indiscriminately.
I salute you, my Generals!
For the protection you give,
to the Constitution.
You suspend it so often and so high,
that no one can ever reach it - let alone desecrate it.
Such is the coherence of your thinking, my Generals,
that so many of you have come up with the same protection plan
repeatedly.
I salute you, my Generals!
For the determination you show,
in the face of all the opposition from the nation.
Liberals, the religious, politicians, civilians,
begging, shouting, screaming, in one voice,
to let them have the freedom to choose.
But you trample their wishes with your boots - and stand firm.
Only you have the determination, my Generals,
to take a nation of 160 million, hostage,
and devour its resources,
incessantly.
