[hometext] => about the Vietnam War...comments greatly appreciated
[bodytext] => Heavy breathing Crunch.... panting The sound of tropic leaves underneath your feet and the beetles squished under the soles The rising....blistering sun overhead reveals your position Shhhhh Dont breathe too hard Dont think too much They'll hear you're heart crying if it's beating loud enough Automatic gone off! In every direction Screams and cries and naked children Bloodshed running down your face into your eyes You realease the sight of death into foaming tears Cant see past the jungle green in front of you Why did your father send you? For the honor?? Give me the money dad....let me go to Canada! The draft..... my number was nine NINE!!! And here I am The Napalm and Agent Orange filling their bodies Until the life in them explodes out amongst the trees In the silence I watch the souls fly to the turqouise blue sky of eternity And I wish my soul was going too Not a war....but an Establishments game to be another hero Survive another day amongst the Gooks The blistering sun of red crimson flames The sweat and heavy breathing stains your teeth Stings your eyes Wake up.... I'm not in Nam no more Just a nightmare Still alone Living Nightmare........ in my cold lonely bed [comments] => 4 [counter] => 211 [topic] => 8 [informant] => Alina [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AmericanTragedy )

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. ©
