paul rieckhoff is my new hero

if by chance you should hear gunfire
keep running towards the sound.
don't listen to the terrible screams,
just the slap of your feet on the ground.
he served because it was the only thing that was right.
it had nothing to do with "choice."
he called his men "my soldiers."
they gave him his reason and his voice.
he stepped up and led them to safety
though he didn't believe in the fight,
so if he gives me the order
i'm ready to bring the light.

I'm sorry. I don't know what to say. I know that's not what you wanted. Are people being nice to you?
