To Invent
I wake up to a world full of chaos
In the news, I hear of our soldiers
And their bravery, their passion
I hear of the damage done
I see my step-brother
And behind his façade
I see a traumatized soldier
I see the pictures on social networks
The soldiers who gave up their lives
And the ones who were injured beyond repair
I realize this
That my drive is like theirs
That they are my inspiration
I will not fight, nor will I be a soldier
But I will create
My dream job
Is to create for a purpose
To make technology that will revolutionize combat casualties
I will create
To live in a better world
