“Old men were once young, but it is uncertain if young men will reach old age.” Democritus
Three months is plenty of time
to train a boy to die
give him a gun
and no sleep
and he’ll be ready to fight
Three months is plenty of time
to train a boy to kill
send him out in the wild
destroy and rebuild
he’ll be ready to fight
Three years is plenty of time
to stain their sand red
send them out to the desert
to join the rest of our dead
there’s always someone else
willing to fight
