I will break my back for a piece of metal
Stay up long days for success
Work long hours to be better
But
I will not put effort into love
Would rather be alone than try
Suffer alone than reach

That is my edge
That is the curse


William Bolyard spent over 10 years as a US Army infantryman. He is the author of Sober Man’s Thoughts. You can follow him on IG here. Listen to our Savage Wonder podcast episode with him here.


What’s happening at VetRep…

Listen to our interview this week with Ben Fortier on the Savage Wonder Podcast.


VetRep is thrilled to present “God of Carnage” by Yazmina Reza for the month of September. A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses, and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters.
