[hometext] => This is about a Marine's reaction to the war he trained for and how doctors failed him.
[bodytext] => Deprived of sleep for nearly a week So the doctor says, “Have a seat.” Thinking now’s a good time for me to unwind And explain what I do with my time Is it my fault I didn’t make any sense As I spoke of our national defense Or of the cheating wife I do blame For creating in me a sense of shame Insane, I know, where our minds go But then this is a known symptom, so I divert to my reason for showing My very reason for going I was sleep deprived for nearly a week And the doctor said, “Have a seat.” Before deciding that it was a good time To my mental capabilities define Doctor I don’t think your listening Or else you’d be up and running Looking for a place for me to sleep A sleep so very deep Not keeping me up talking While you stand there gawking And wondering why everything I say Comes out in some strange way Do you think you’d make any sense Speaking in your defense After nearly a week without sleep When into this nightmare you did creep? Now not only are you tired But you’re at risk of being fired Straight onto the mental ward Where you are to be stored And of course nobodies listening To your original reason for coming Because instead everyone’s decided That your brain’s been blighted Lost consciousness of the fact That you came there intact After just about a week Without any sleep Well I cry malpractice Because I’m not some cactus Some brain dead plant You can simply transplant No I’m a human A full-grown man Who had a reaction Momentarily lost traction At the onset of war Whos mind did soar Recalling his training And found the trip too draining [comments] => 1 [counter] => 150 [topic] => 60 [informant] => Wannabe [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => insomniac )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
