leave you humanity
at the gate
bring only your dreams
with you
lock them away
in a safe place
or they
will be stolen
by those
who have lost their
long ago
your enemy is
always at your door
in times of war
attack first
take no prisoners
lose yourself in dreams
of your Jeannie
show no weakness
and for God's sake
don't get sick.
