People are born inherently good

but decisions you make can change good to bad.

Volunteering to help others in your community

or just helping yourself.

Doing something with your life to benefit humanity

or just your pocket book.

Saving the rainforest

or making a new field for GMO crops.

Worldview


Actions define us like the dark and light sides of the Force,
everyone knows you from what you do.
Helping others as if they were yourself,
look in to the mirror, do you really see you?

The goal in life should be to benefit the human race,
just like Albert Einstein’s Quantum Theory
turned ideas about light into a television screen,
small starts can lead to the extraordinary.

Everyone should have the same opportunities in life.
Just like a tiny babe born in a Jerusalem stable
became the greatest voice in history.
His story. Not a fable.

Heavy bag on my shoulder
Butterflies in my stomach
Big green bus screeches to a halt
Role call bags below
Find a seat
A lurch, a rumble, and then we go

Off the bus into a wall of hot air
Marched to the barracks
Assigned a bunk below
Hope the one above doesn’t snore
Smell of bleach burns my nose
At least it’s clean

Marching, briefing, eating, sleeping
Three days in we go off base
Mountain peak to valley below
Camping, swimming, survival shelters
Shooting, hiking, talking to a General
15th Platoon, your turn to eat

Burned food, missing home, way too hot, not enough sleep
When can I go back?

People look for

the short cut
the hack

The shortcut is
a lie
The hack
doesn’t get you there

The easy road won’t get you where you want to be
There is no easy way
There must be discipline

Discipline, the root of all good qualities
Discipline defeats the infinite excuses
There is only one way
Discipline is the way

Discipline Equals Freedom
Field Manual

I paraphrased and shortened the text and reorder the words of one chapter.

Life of a cadet The military college Rock climbing is great

I don’t like poems Poems are so hard to write Dyslexia sucks

Rugby is like life You get hit and knocked down But you get back up

Fishing at Ruth Lake
Slap slap slap creeeak slam
crunch crunch screeeeee sloop
Bloop bloop bloop
Whizzzz plop
Click whir click whir
Whiiiirrrr wheeeeeeeeeee
Click wrow wrow wrow
Flapflapflapflapflap thunk
Bloop bloop bloop
Screeeeee crunch crunch
Creeeak slam slap slap slap
Thunk, click click click
Sizzle

What a Beaver is
I am a beaver and it is very true that I have a lot of things to do My country strong and free where everyone has a chance at equality
Building is my specialty and making my home creates biodiversity I care for my community and my work also benefits humanity
Cleaning water, preventing floods, restoring wetlands is why I’m always in a rush So what’s your excuse for being so busy that you don’t take the time to consider me
Cutting down trees, destroying habitat without a thought For my friends and I and where will we have a spot to live
I stand on guard for thee as representative of the Combat Engineers in the military Like me they are busy, defending your freedom and right to live in peace
Building bridges, building roads, making a way for people to move At home and abroad, in peace and in war, helping others is what they live for
I may not be the biggest or strongest or fastest, with my buck teeth and flat tail But I represent hard work and community from a nation that upholds these as their ideal
