We discuss an art piece titled "SOF Mistress" done by We The Willing Collective. We dive into the deeper meaning of the art piece and the poem it is based on by James R. Ward. We go through the poem line by line and we discuss what it means to us and how it relates to the image creating by We The Willing Collective. "Men, Special Forces is a mistress. Your wives will envy her, because she will have your hearts. Your wives will be jealous of her because of her power to pull you away. This mistress will show you things never before seen and you will experience things that you have never before felt. She will love you, but only a little, seduce you to want more, to give more, and to die for her. She will take away from the ones you love, and you will hate her for it, but leave her you never will, but if you must, you will miss her, for she is a part of you that will never be returned intact. And in the end she will leave you for a younger man." James R. Ward OSS
