A Military Thought

It's these late nights
that make it all real.
The disruption of one's
normal rhythm.
When you're forced
to stay awake and
accomplish the tasks
associated with defending
your country.
It's outrageous the
way we torture
ourselves, drowning out
sleep, severing the ties
with family to stay
loyal to the fifty
states. Sometimes I
wonder if it's all worth it.
