[bodytext] => When I was 19 and in my prime, I went away but only for a short time. I went away to see a far away land, I belive in freedom here I was to make my stand. All dressed up in my new government issued camouflage green, They gave me a few weeks of training to make me feel mean. Boy fill your duffel and get on that plane, What they neglected to tell you was ( Boy you will never be the same.) Here you go boy a brand new toy, Why son no; you don't need a new gun. And them new boots your right boy they don't know how to run. I know you have been in the bush for weeks son, Rain, Snakes, Gooks, Mud, Blood, oh I know your a little tired. You can rest while you set on guard. Sleep? why no you can't go to sleep. If you do you will only be a warm heap. That is why they give you R&R so you can get drunk to cover the scars, 148 hours of desperately going from Bar to Bar. Pack in as much living as you can, Sleep? yes I slept on the way back to Nam.

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. ©
