Mirror, mirror Laced in fear Dictate my life I'm meant to steer Consequence in wine and beer Seek a journey I can't be near My thoughts of glass Are limber and shattered With the sledgehammer of past To be crushed and mentally scattered I found the pieces I put them together I struggle to remember it forever The pains of my action The results of my distraction The screams of my endeavor To serve my mindless faction Draft me An architectural blueprint To serve my life in death And live as a hollow mint I've done the job To be ached as sin To hold the weapon of man And peel the thought like skin As a cover of wrong and thought of different I shoot my thoughts of new and inherent To be on the winning side and walk away the crow Is to peck the skin of the dying and reap what I sow
The second half of my military poetry. I grew up in a family that fought for causes they were paid the believe in. To put that kind of admittance into words in beyond me.
