Serving Country
 
Serving country serving self
men and women in uniform
sacrificing their youth
rigorous training
of body and mind
if your heart isn't in it
don't waste your time
an army of one
is not what you think
it's an army thinking
and acting as one
high tech equipment
high tech troops
at home
at sea or
on foreign soil
they'll out muscle
out gun
out fight
the best of the rest
they stay the course
'til the job is done
give them their due
for the job that they do
protecting us all and
the red white and blue

My friend is in the army, and I know he feels the same way about his job. He's going to Iraq soon, he's only eighteen.

Good poem. You got your muse back.
