Yolo

People say

partying all the time is YOLO

that's not YOLO

that's living a care-free life

 

Army men and women

fighting for their lives

in the middle of Iraq

is YOLO

 

They are risking their life

to protect ours

that's YOLO

and I respect that

 

It makes me so mad

hearing people say

"big party this weekend YOLO"!

I want to punch them in the face

 

I want them to

take 10 minutes and think

about all the men and women

serving our country

 

People lose their life everyday

protecting their families and US

So if you say YOLO at a party

think is that really YOLO

 

If you get pregnant

is that YOLO?

NO!

fighting for our country losing your life keeping 3,000 million people in the United States safe!

THAT IS F*****G YOLO!!!!!!

I guess I'm old now because I have never heard of the word "YOLO." Do people still say 'Krunk?' What about 'ill?' 'Chill?' Is 'Word' still on the table?

It's good to see a young person who respects the sacrifices made by brave men and women in the armed forces. Far braver men than I. Far too often overlooked.

i've got to say no one ever says "krunk or ill or chill" that was like 7 years ago for us lol.... and i hate not respecting our armed forces i hate it they are fighting to keep us safe
