Poems
Oct 2018
Listen, I'm not myself
I watched a man die for no reason.
two hard-bought lines, pay attention
I saw something
Men were never meant to see, it's not like TV.
I had to say, I saw him die, no one else said they did.
So, to this day,
In America, I live, an honored survivor of what I saw.
I was reminded by a fool, on TV
telling what we did in that war
for no reason.
It's on TV, it's not real.
Like Vietnam was, remember? It don't mean nuthin',
FTA, it means find the answer sir, yessir.
Permanent tat, yessir. FTA, all the way.
Mully grubbin' with old acquaintances and a fine afghani kush
