What do you think this poem is about?

Containment Protocol Initiated

Military will shoot kill civilians
orders are orders
if that's what they are ordered to do?

Training is training
follow orders through and through
that's what we are trained to do?

Military will shoot kill civilians
if ordered to do so?
We are trained to follow orders?

The penalty for not follower orders
in combat... death by firing squad?
Would you follow orders? Do you?

We are trained to follow orders?
