Pretty Petty’s Poem for The Military

Welcome to this special issue. This is part of “Pretty Petty Poetry”. We want to say thanks with this poem.

No Hero
By Anonymous

Paper pusher, meeting attendee, desk jockey

They tell me I am a warrior

Fighting against the rising tide of email

Putting together briefings that no one will see

Chasing rank like a white whale

People stop in the store to thank me

Smile and nod, but no reply

I am no hero

They tell me I am a warrior

Paper pusher, meeting attendee, desk jockey
