No Complaints

As everyday is different as i walk the lands to me that are unknown. I fear nothing but it kills me everyday inside that i see this. My body fills with anger to know that people constantly complain about the little things in life while i call this place home till i can escape. i dont get to hear crickets at night and hear the night air blow. I hear the helicopters fly above dropping bombs to the unknown and shots of bullets to those we are fighting for our sources. As you get to stop and smell the roses and see the beautiful sky when i smell blood, sweat and tears from our enemies and my own brothers. Dont be upset when you cant find the time to work sleep into schedule because i dont even know what that is. You complain that your hot and sweaty, feeling dirty. You cant bare it anymore. while i live in my uniform that reprsents the united states. The sun is unbearable here. Im soaked of sweat as if i jumped into a pool. I wish i have because i havent took a shower in days. Sometimes it a week. When your food order isnt right think about me and feel lucky that you have atleast something as sometimes my stomach growls vicisously for something to scarf down. When i return back to the states i can never complain another day for what i use to before i witnessed the days that i did here.
