Do you know what its like
to crawl on your back
and drag your body through freezing cold water
with a rifle above you
pushing back barbed wire
in the middle of the night

Or share a room with 65 guys that talk in their sleep
and see grown men wet the bed
Do you know what it's like
to have someone punch you in the stomache and call you a pussy
and you can't hit them back

Do you even want to know
about sleep deprivation
And forget about a sex and social life

Really
Do you wanna know why you write shitty little
poems that can't be drawn from past experiences
aside from those late nights at college

You really want to grow up and
prove something to yourself
besides I fucked her and her
and I work here

Do someting bigger than your ego

Join the fucking Marine Corps!
