Love Poem: Chasing Uncle Sam

Chasing Uncle Sam

Gimme a rhythm
Keep me in step
Grant me no freedom
I’ll do what you expect

Military rule
Keeps me in line
You play Uncle Sam
The role of Joe is mine

Basic training’s done
Move me along
Think I’m like the rest
And that’s where you are wrong

No one thinks like me
In this whole wheel
Of life which keeps turning
They know not how I feel

The rest are crazy
Wild at best
They’d kill for a chance
To slaughter all the rest

You understand me
And know how I feel
Pick me from the rest
‘cause these feelings are real

First date in Kabul
Then Iraq next
Lunch in Korea?
God save me from this mess!
