Everything's a Living

A Poem by Davidgeo

'when the shoe fits the foot is forgotten'

said a young tommy merton

and when the training's right

the mission is no obstacle

that's reality... says most of life

and

good training

is when you mistake the hard way

for a living as the easy way

executing

long enough

in the face of pure chaos

owning anarchy

you become venom

for a living

feeling something like....

"no man can topple me"

and perhaps

maybe,

there is no clutch

in the trained men

to them, everything was already dust

for a living

fighting everything

(smells like misery)

　10,000 times over

until you are... "professional"

(fu Malcolm Gladwell)

maybe everything is eventual

and everyone becomes unlucky

in the end

say hello

(mr eventually...

welcome sir 10,001 and me

the welcomed end

of repetition

(f*****g discipline)

what a s****y life

I should have been an artist

awesome perspective on the life of a soldier. (I'm sure you'll talk s**t that this isn't what you meant...but it's how I read it, so deal with it lol)

Some things people can never dream of doing
become someone's everyday reality. You painted it in a light that makes that forgotten thing a stark truth.
