We the Security People

We the "security people" fight for free and for freedom, and you think we simply choose "this kind of work". We run towards the fire you watch on TV, and you wonder how crazy we are and how quickly "someone" will put out the flames. There are among us these who guard your streets so your house is safe, and these who fight wars on battlefields so your home is still your home; and you call for "open borders" for you never guarded them. And once you've created danger, you feel entitled to our protection.

And you brag about "open-mindedness" while you sacrifice nothing but other people's lives. We fight and die under our flag; the enemy stomps on it and burns it. And then you play war games and join the enemy, for you don't know what honor is and expect that "others" will fight real wars for you. We the "security people" fight for individual freedom; you fight for serfdom of "mass". And then you pride yourself on protesting…the liberties that past generations of "security people" won for you. And some of you are too comfy to care, some are too ignorant to know, some too stupid to understand. And all of you are ungrateful. We the "security people "blow the whistle on traitors, tyrants, and thieves. You come to their "Riot now!" whistle and you call it "resistance". And there are among us silent heroes: farmers and factory workers and teachers; parents who teach both love and duty and grandmothers who bake the best apple pie. We are the guardians of fry bread and gospel and southern proverbs, guards of sacred values and land. And all of us will defend the country, because we know what country is.

And you are ready to fight against President and Constitution, and you aid and abet oligarchs who jailed us, who blacklisted us and who keep tormenting us. And you stand against the country, for you don't know what country is. And some of us lost our limbs, and some lost our loved ones. Some of us are wounded, some are ruined, and some are still exiled. And all of us give our lives. And you keep taking and wanting for more for you don't contribute. And if you understood sacrifice, there would be no homeless Veterans, and if you deserved to call 911, you would esteem police, and if you didn't aid enemy, patriots would not be treated as dissidents. And if you wanted the truth you would reject mainstream media's propaganda; and if you wanted respect you would respect our flag. Today your freedom is as homeless as a homeless Veteran, as insulted as a policeman, as wounded as a soldier as persecuted as a "dissident", as disrespected as religion, as forgotten as values. We the security people mean freedom, and your freedom is born with us and dies with us.
