The Drill That Stayed

Singapore celebrates Total Defence Day today – when we consider all aspects of defence.

The military. The people.

The economy.

The MIND.

That requires the greatest protection.

Breached…

A siren rehearses my ears and mind.

Preparedness, neat.

Checked.

🚨🧠🔒🕳️📢🫥📺🔁🧼🫧🕯️👁️‍🗨️🤫✅

“Be ready.”

🚨🧠🔒🕳️📢🫥📺🔁🧼🫧🕯️👁️‍🗨️🤫✅

Mind unbraced, with too many doors.

The sound fades, but a thin ring stays.

A soft hum. It never left.

A soft, other voice.

Calm, in a uniform

Fitting all.

My mind’s doors, unlocked.

Messages on billboards – suddenly mine.

“Stay quiet. Be safe.”

“Stay silent. You’re safe.”

“Remain vigilant. You’re set.”

We practice. The body obeys.

The mind relents.

Each repetition, more polished.

Each exercise widens.

“Stay quiet. You’re safe.”

It wants me managed

Not broken down. Taken over.

The safest mind –

Absorbs.

🚨🧠🔒🕳️📢🫥📺🔁🧼🫧🕯️👁️‍🗨️🤫✅

The voice.

Name it, its grip

Loosens.

Reality –

Maintained.

Truth louder

When shared.
