"All the stories and descriptions of that time without exception peak only of patriotism, self sacrifice, despair, grief, and heroism of the Russians. But in reality it was not like that...The majority of the people paid no attention to the general course of events but were influenced only by their immediate personal interest." Leo Tolstoy from War and Peace
EXCEPTIONAL
Sit thee in your modest home
Eating yet another meal of beans and rice
Thinking that you're lucky not to be an exception
And all you need to do is just play nice
Go about your days as directed and mandated
Your weary breath is your sound, not your voice
Doing what your government directed
Because it is plainly your only choice
Or live within a free society
Where exceptionalism is your pride and joy
Living by the valid constitution
Our ancestors chose to employ
