The man practiced character assassination
Too bad all the bullets went astray
Missions aborted as any damaging evidence simply didn’t exist
Lobotomized leadership qualities born for insurrection
Conflicting statements left others to question his core beliefs
Today we pay tribute to these unkind misfires
Every now and then we have something you like, and something communal
High equipment, and shared responsibilities
Knowing full well the newly required reverence is temporary
We understand there isn’t a permanent alliance
Remembering those differences underneath
Be careful where you aim, the backfire is acute
