Confused about a riddle?

Question

Opposite of PM, I lay in a bed made of stone.

2 m&ms in a mirror, I lived to die.

All of my guards have water soaked hands.

But they are the best of all of the land.

I was given the hint that "the land spoken of is the good old usa", but can anyone think of an answer?

Answer 1

I believe it's of Military origin. Perhaps an MP. The bed of stone is a grave.

I don't understand the m&m's because they look the same in a mirror unless they were of a different color and the position, right to left. would be reversed in the mirror. Maybe what was is right is no more.

The guards with water soaked hands? Some of the MP's at Abu Ghraib were convicted of abuse. They were supposed to be the best soldiers because of the integrity of their field.

Riddles don't have to be funny they can contain a message.

Answer 2

no
