In Our Line of Duty

We were neither many nor few,

nor were we heroes.

We went where the maps said.

We bound whomever we had to bind

in our line of duty.

We were neither many nor few,

nor were we heroes.

We guarded whom we had to guard.

There was always someone higher up,

there was always someone who knew what we had to do.

We weren’t made for revolutions.

We had enough problems

of our own.
