a fairytale

k in order to compensate the lack of posts for so long:

a fairytale

The gold cover attracts you
take it off the shelf
and skim though its pages
a blur of text
Plot. Themes. Characters
All lumped together.

A prince in shining armour
dashing through the woods
think vines with thorns
malicious crows and cunning foxes
an eagle swops down
carries off a prey

Giants, ogres, dragons
spewing fire
a damsel in distress
awaits in the tower.
so carefully protected
A treasure chest with layers of locks.

Finally the last key.
The last lock.
A soft click and apprehension draws
the top creaks open...
Empty.
secret so securely guarded
not a treasure
but the lack of it.

1) Being a cadet is much much better than an nco
2) how messy and full of prehistoric stuff the sj rm is :s
3) how high ultimately is ur self discipline coz the only one to ensure that standard is urself
4) the real standard of the corp
5) how responsible u and ur squad can be.
6) the sense of achievment when you and ur squad single-handedly plan e whole sj camp and carry it out successfully =)
7) ur own mistakes when you see then reflected off ur juniors and cadets
8) the imptance of cadet-nco barrier and how to be cruel to maintain it
