What Makes a Goon?
What makes a goon?
Strutting in uniforms
With body armour and masks.
What makes a goon?
Behind their shields
With their guns and batons.
What makes a goon?
Following orders
Mindlessly dispensing violence.
What makes a goon?
Arm of the State
Merchants of terror.
What makes a goon?
Beating heads
Stifling protest.
What makes a goon?
Teargas and bullets
Terror and power
What makes a goon?
Mindless zombies
Faceless thugs.
What makes a goon?
Expressionless
Emotionless.
What makes a goon?
Instruments of tyranny
Never questioning.
What makes a goon?
Unquestioning
Vehicles of oppression.
What makes anybody want to give up their individuality, their ability to reason, and become an enemy of the people?
