That's What They Need


This place is too good

The honors too great.

The Best of the Best

The Best and the Brightest.

 

That’s what they said.

 

Casual disregard,

Common Cynicism.

Standards to meet,

Never a drive to exceed.

 

That's who they are.

 

Better than the rest, better than the best

That's what this place deserves.

Dedicated to the cause.

Dedicated to the service.

 

That's who I need to be.
