what blackbird is saying, is when soldiers or military governate the country.
they kill many people without reason.
my father, when he was an adolescent, he was finishing secondary school, and he was celebrating with his friends.
Later a van with militaries crossed the road, one of my athers friends threw a stone without his intention and hit the car.
a man came out of it and took his weapon and started pointing everyone, my father said me that when you are ther you are so freeze that you cant move.
