[hometext] => This Poem Reflects the Frustrations of a Warrior
[bodytext] => How did I get here? How stupid am I? I wondered as I heard my buddies cry Out in the highlands in Vietnam The wounded scream "morphine!". Others scream "Mom!". Sure as hell I'm out here to die. Too late to question when or why. Men who don't know me, trying to kill me Won't later question, "Who the hell was he?" The crushing noise of bullets and mortar Suffocate efforts at thought, at order. My sad life depends on the fetal position. Screw the Marines and this ******** mission. I'm tempted to stand, to run, to flee So there will be something left of me Tomorrow and for all the promised tomorrows to come God, why am I here? Why was I so dumb? An arm's blown beside me, I recoil in more horror. I age by the moment. Don't pass me a mirror To see the new killer now quaking, in shock. Christ Almighty, please turn back the clock. JFK and now Lyndon, what in hell were you thinkin? Friends' bodies surround me, now what will my fate be? At Hill 175, Doc Toe, still alive? *** ****** to all politicians, don't give us more jive. Just bring us to families, anxiously waiting For this war to end, no more anger, no hating. But war won't soon end and skies won't be sunny No, the fat cats stay rich, making more dirty money.

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. ©
