Trained For Life....I Was
I've sucked golden eggs, as small as pearls, from a dead chickens carcass.
Drank water that dripped, through a nylon sock, and had a taste, like no other found on earth.
Swam naked, while crossing icy rivers, as dogs barked and howled, under a darkened moon.
Chased by hunters, as I
moved unseen, across fields and forest, while climbing hills and mountains, to get away.
As I sit and ponder, wondering was it worth it, and to look at me now, who would guess or know, or even care?
Living in a different world.
