Life lessons
September 18, 2014
In my head, wheels have turned.
Thinking about the lessons I was brutally tought.
to pull the trigger, to take a mans life.
to put my own life down for my buddies to my left and to my right.
they too have been tought to pull the same trigger and take a life while laying down their very own life for me.
we are soldiers
we are brothers
learning the life lessons that will stick to the minds of the less than one percent.
we are delta!
we are assassins!
