In the Army Now

[kishaipanda]

New Job

Hey honey, guess what!

I get to go play soldier

in the desert.

But don’t cry.

I’ll have guns

And armor

And all sorts of fascinating equipment.

No, I don’t believe in this war.

But there’s no other way I could support you

And the kids

Times being what they are.

I’ll be careful

I’ll be safe

Yes, I know I might die.

But it’s a risk we’re just going to have to take.

Remember, I’m doing this for you.

Yes I will miss you

And I love you

And we’ll probably see each other

Online.

I wish I didn’t have to go.

But the army needs me

And I have no choice now;

I get to go play soldier
in the desert.
