[hometext] => Half of this was written while deployed in Iraq and the other half a year later when we completely withdrawled from the country.
[bodytext] => I got blood on my hands, it's getting to thick I’m gonna use these pages to wipe it off with the life of a medic when the world is sick dull the pain, pass the anesthetic I regret it, taking life for granted the world from our view tends to be a bit slanted we argue about politics, sports, and fashion while the rest of the world is dying, try to understand it So, send us off to war and then act like we're the ones who planned it, You want your freedoms protected, here, send the one that’s standing put guards at the gate then judge the ones who man it I won't let haters in my mind, you're the one who's banished I can't sleep, through all this fighting mortars hitting the ground as I'm up writing These words are meant to shock you like bolts of lightning I've been through scary times, but this ignorance is frightening My eyes swell up, tears are running down my cheeks As I’m driving by kids begging for food to eat you say the war's over, pull out now, beat feet as long as these kids struggle we leave in defeat You get home, thinking the worst is over then your dreams haunt you with fallen soldiers Guilt starts to weigh on you like a ton of boulders You just feel like crying, but you let it smolder Here use my shoulder, realize, we have each other Veterans to lean on like a friend or brother If you were helped, help in kind another Time to heal soldier, get up, RECOVER [comments] => 3 [counter] => 110 [topic] => 19 [informant] => JoePrzybysz [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => InspirationalPoems )

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. ©
