A Nation Must Stand Firm

If openly they commit misdeeds,
Then the country shall remain,
And the nation exceeds
In the number of troops again.

The army has pain all abhorrent,
Many strike fear and retaliation
For they do not know who is absent,
The army or the law? Whose acceleration?

I guarantee the spread of health,
Active are the infantry in their strength,
May the legion carry its stealth
And let radio the wavelength.

We exceed the enemy in power
And we declare a truce;
What do we do as we are abler?
Abduct the foe with no abuse.

Let the nation stand firm against enemy control,
And let ages pass sweeter than charcoal.
