We are ten but one

Each one of us is in different functions

But we function as one

We had said before these words in chorus

“We THINK as ONE and we ACT as ONE”

We had showed what we called

the “Buddy System”

When we were asked by this line

“Quit or Die”

We didn’t hesitate to shout back

“die”

One word but firmly stated

And sealed our destiny to be one

We had gained a lot

From the damnest, worst, ugliest to

Sweetest and unforgettable experiences we had

We had already traveled miles away

even without knowing that we had already

started running from the starting line

Looking back, I see lots of men

wearing civilians and filling up

forms which they never knew

would change them from nothing into something

From numerous to few we became

As trainings came each one of us

discovered something from one of us

The unknown became known

And the divider became binder

We are like different pieces of puzzle before,

Then as time goes by we became a perfect picture

of a United and WHOLE puzzle

as we fit each other perfectly

until each one of us are removed

from the right place that we are in

by different players that played with us

In this organization we pledged

And as we pledged we had already surrendered

Who we were and what we had

My Buddy said:

“mind over emotion”

that’s what we should do but

some of us just can’t and so they say

GOODBYE

Sometimes the HARDEST thing and the RIGHT thing are the same
