stealing your prescription
keeps me composed.
born into a cauldron of
witch's brew angst and anger!

none come home complete.
each tries for normal lives.
madmen lob angst and anger
into the dinner party!

anxiety and hate haunt
the best of men now lost,
families can't cope.
they drift away in fear.

war has done it again.
good people; good intent;
make monsters of good
men and their sons.

what raw nerve is left exposed
forever hidden in nightmares
father and son and holy ghost
searching for a peaceful grave.
