The Soldier's Revelation

Our victory is at hand.
The uprising has met its match.
Slowly rolling towards the walls,
Then we scramble out the hatch.
This battle is a massacre;
Alas, they have no guns!
But each rebel is still a threat
As long as their blood still runs.
They say they fight for freedom,
But how can this be?
How can we be corrupt
With a leader so noble as he?
They were foolish to declare war.
They fed the masses with their lies.
Our legions will not stop
'Til every last one dies.
We had finally broken the gate,
And to our surprise,
The rebels walked out, one by one.
We saw great fear in their eyes.
Then every last rebel
Raised their arms into the air.
We were absolutely shocked.
We could have killed them right there.
But when the commander shouted,
"Open fire! Kill the lot!"
We did not fire.
Not a shot.
