everyday
you're told
to wake up
get moving
pick that up
put that down
don't be late
best be early
best be quick
best be strong
go that way
stop right there
take that hill
stop that man
see that flag
tear it down
--------------
but which direction
do you run
when no one
holds the key?
can I run
if no one
told me to?
Integration is *******.  A loss of schedule and purpose is cited as the leading cause of suicide in military Veterans'.  Hug a Veteran that you know and tell them, "You march to the beat of your own drum.  Now and forever.  And I'll always be your running partner."
