• God of War

    I phone a friend,
    That lives ten miles away.
    He phones his family,
    Ten thousand miles away.

    I email photos of myself,
    With a haircut and new clothes.
    He emails me a photo,
    With hair and uniform in the desert wind that blows.

    I spend a dollar-eighty,
    For a ten minute phone call.
    He spends up to a week,
    For a ten minute call.

    I complain about the food,
    To buy, what a pain it is.
    He complains about the food,
    How dry and plain it is.

    I wake up at 6:00am,
    To walk a mile to school.
    He wakes up at 11:00pm,
    To run around the motor pool.

    I complain about the 60 degree weather,
    Sitting under the shady noon.
    He complains about the 110 degree weather,
    Sitting in the middle of the dunes.

    I scream at the monitor,
    As I get killed in God of War.
    He screams at the man in front,
    Who got killed in the fog of war.
