Swear allegiance to the flag,
Whatever flag they offer;
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly,
For, someday, sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still.
Silent Running
Mike and the Mechanics

I never dreamed that “Silent Running” would be so prophetic. When the song was popular, I would think of the Soviet Union and other Communist countries.
Yet, here we are.
