army life part 1

Whole day shouting 'yes sergeant!'
Sitting on the stupid floor.
washing clothes with detergent.
Sir checks bunk and knocks the door.
Progressive training they emphasize.
The officers seem to sympathise.
But what lies under this wonderful disguise?
Even I may not see through these lies.
Dreadfully slow does time crawl by,
so much so that I want to cry.
Lectures are boring and drills are dry,
nothing to do but Sit and SSigh.

Lying on bed thinking of home,
I feel as if im about to foam
at the mouth and die from being home sick
with every painful clock hand tick.
Gone are the days of games and leisure.
In army u will not get any such pleasure.
Ur job is to serve the nation with loyalty,
But at this standard we can go drink kopi.
When it comes to individual field craft,
its something u definitely cannot laugh
about, as it IS, incredibly tough
to complete without getting vexed-
It's worst than being taxed.
The physical training claims to strengthen your body
I see it as being, rather shoddy.
But perhaps that's the only likable thing in army,
something that new enlistees will see.
2 weeks confinement without booking out-
Cadets can do nothing more than pout.
This crushing cruelty is but reality,
a strict regiment under absolute authority.
Oh heavens guide me pass this boring lap
Of two years, and let my hair grow back A.S.A.P
LOL i cant help but laugh at such a mishap,
Now i have to wear my jockey cap!
Friends alike we will share our woes,
and it's such things that keep me on my toes.

They put me in Falcon company but i cant seem to fly,
It appears their aspirations must be high.
But our throats are soon going dry
After all that shouting to the sky.
Oh gosh hearken all the vulgarities,
A vast contrast with all the 'AMENITIES'
That the camp has to offer.
With monthly pay, what else can i say.
I hope in army, i can have a good day!
