Doing Our Jobs?

Air Force Pilot:
I only pull triggers and fly planes.

Intelligence Specialist:
I simply analyze photos to evaluate target strength.

Ground Ensign:
I just load cargo and clear runways.

Aircraft Mechanic:
I grease wheels to keep engines in shape.

Factory Worker:
All I do is screw bolts and assemble parts each day.

Military Chaplain:
I merely counsel people to make sure they are saved.

Politician:
I just say what's needed to get elected again.

Citizen:
I only pay taxes and support this chain.

. . . and so the cycle seems endless . . .

Why is it so easy to forget higher duties
by merely focusing on our jobs?
