Button up your brown shirt
Oil the infrastructure
Everyone on high alert
Cue the swan’s departure
Extras more than willing
To march within the play
Fox holes they are tilling
While leaders play croquet
"And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city." – Isaiah 1:8
The whipping of a country like France into this kind of anti-jihad jihad feels especially significant to me, considering the usual hesitation the French public have towards militancy and mass surveillance. Amazing how quickly folks convert to “extras more than willing” when they see people killed within their own geographical boundaries…
Agreed.
