silent soldier

Attention!

Stand your ground!

defeat is not an option!

Disiplin!

your name is unknown to command, 

why? 

because you face front 

stay at attention,

you know life will be better,

do as your told!

stand straighter!

ready!

March!

the drone...

left....

left, right left,

from day one,

from when we could simply just understand...

we have been told to:

respect,

follow obligations, 

grow up,

we are never perfect so what do average people do?

we shut up,

stand tall,

lean back,

and follow the drone.

the more we follow,

the less of a hard time.

requiring permission for everything,

but to when does it stop?

when does never being good enough, 

ever become enough?

I like how you centered this poem, the relation to a soldier. Very clever.
