Eyes absent-tears!
(song-of
a soldier’s-despair)
Patriotic-children!
Young-men! Pure-Hell! to-bear
Too-many
horrors-seen---eyes absent-tears…just-stares
Dispirited-orbs
dead, the boy-man can no-longer care
Thunder-call
instantaneous mortal metal-rain try-kill us-all
New-friend
Private-Rick left no-trace of his answered-call
Fireworks
explosion-red backlighted ship-silhouettes at-sea
Battle-Wild cacophonous raged-concussions
focused-deadly
Airplane-engines
drone-above spitting-evil .50-caliber
strafe
Myriad
Silent/Spoken prayers: “Dear-Lord!
Keep us-safe!”
I
stopped all dead-tally and can’t
remember any number-count
They were-us and we were they as confused sick-carnage mounts
Patriotic-children!
Young-men! Pure-Hell! to-bear
Too-many
horrors-seen---eyes absent-tears…just-stares
Dispirited-orbs
dead, the boy-man can no-longer care
Some
General-elite somewhere ordered his-people advance
On-paper
his-courage might honor an-additional
star-chance
On
U.S.-soil back-home any-politico gave a rousing patriotic-speech
Lying
words-of-meaningless-air on deaf-ears
to enlightenment-teach
A
mere-boy conscripted-man fitfully nightmare-sleeps of Sweet-Lou
Did
his-demise result in-this-Hell?
Life-is-spent which he once-knew
Somewhere
in the dark or gold-sun does my-name bullet purpose-fly?
One-day
only to see my-children and their progeny in-Love! to-comply
Patriotic-children!
Young-men! Pure-Hell! to-bear
Too-many
horrors-seen---eyes absent-tears…just-stares
Dispirited-orbs
dead, the boy-man can no-longer care
Might-I
had some-choice my-plight surely could vastly-improve
Proud! Will
I-live! &-Love! &-fight! &-die! In a Patriotic-groove
Patriotic-children!
Young-men! Pure-Hell! to-bear
Too-many
horrors-seen---eyes absent-tears…just-stares
Dispirited-orbs
dead, the boy-man can no-longer care
Amen!
