Crisp uniforms, brand new.
Name plates and pins polished bright.
At odds with the silly looks on our faces,
The fun we had that night.
Two boys, or were we men?
Relieved to be at the end if the road.
But the journey was just beginning,
Not ready for the new work load.
How to balance living life,
With making your living?
Human nature is to always be taking,
But I am pledged to be giving.
Selfishness is our driving force,
The essence of humanity.
I am sworn to selflessness,
Core tenet of my duty.
