10 In the Army Now

What’s it like? Lots of people want to know.
Ever left the state to go to college?
It’s kind of like that. It’s different though.
You build strong bonds and forge relationships.
Learning to kill is your education.
Only thing you learn to watch is your six.
Basic training sounds hard, but it isn’t.
Discovering that was the easy part.
You graduated into a career.
Not one from books and late night partying.
But one of development and violence.
Indoctrinated into aggression.
You are worth $400,000.00
And that’s it. You accept you are a pawn.
Look around and ask yourself where you are.
It’s obvious. You’re in the army now.
