CODENAME: X

Sever actions;
Intensify destructive factions.
X-meaning secret;
Total cover-up,
You must not see.

Sixty seconds notice;
Everyone is ready.
Corrupted hindsight;
Onslaught on display.
Never ending;
Death and dismay.

Military might;
In an ordinary man.
Looking without sight;
Into another day.
Taking Truth’s light,
Into the ragged machine;
And Freedom is born; yet, again.
