The Sole Individual
Can you be self-interested in the United States military?
Nothing is greater
Than myself. These groups,
Military, and
Otherwise are much
Older than I. They
Comprise of other
Personnel, but they
Are not greater than
I. Without the sole
Individual
To make up a troop,
There exists no set.
I am a tree in
A woodland and a
Grain of sand in the
Desert: the single
Unit that makes up
The greater picture.
Before I could be
Considered a Force
Fighting for freedom;
A Corps combatting
Corruption; Armies
Ready to make war;
Sailors sending bombs;
Guardsman protecting
Shores; I am just one.
My might lies in my
Very selfishness.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
