The motto of the Secret State Police
“The hammer always disciplines the head”
Reflects a modern paradigm of peace:
Another day, another critic dead
The 99% who sold their vote
When might and money took the upper hand
Are now too poor and weak to be of note
Discarded and irrelevant, as planned
A beating, to the feeble, to the face
Reminds them of a metal-fisted fact:
The future is a bright, exciting place
When all the odds of privilege are stacked
We are the great, the Nouveau Riche Regime
As vicious and as ruthless as we seem
