Rest in Power

You want the truth?

Modern day gladiators

Youthful bright eyed poor

Sold a lie to defend freedom

In other countries

Experienced soldiers understand

Trading portions of our lives

We know the prisms of colors

Striations of

Blood soaked earth

The howling mankind makes

Injured souls

Color slipping away

Spirit took

———

May you never know that pain

Exactly, 315th Infantry, Philly. Yeah pretty much.

I have SO MUCH POETRY about my service.

Uncle Sam takes #US

indentured servitude youth

Polished brass buttons

Covers of minds

Outside sanity, FREE DOM!

Exploitative Poor

Toxic waste of minds

Sign on bleached paper

Blood bought dotted line

Retirement came

Yay, maybe now some reprieve

PARRY ON

That's really good, poignant as fuck. I tried to tell them but the fear from the tv stuck. It was so damn obvious.
