"hooah" poems - Hello Poetry

This is for all my battle buddies, HOOAH! Serving in Iraq, Serving in Afghanistan. With a grainy, sandy, hot, and humid desert surrounding you. Looking into miles of nothing. Always ready, always on patrol, ready to roll. Ducking your head to re-load in the middle of the firefight. Taking a stand against the evils of the world. To my battles with integrity, We all bleed the same, Fighting for freedom of the Red, White, and Blue Live green die green Scream it with me at the top of your lungs: HOOAH! Soldier people; This for all the clowns that play Video Games Talking that 1337 (LEET) speak Owning some newbs for fun Screaming at the little kids that they **** I’m taking on the girls 1 versus 1 Passing by the hours staring at the screen Drinking Mountain Dew, and eating skittles Sniping people with your M4, Blowing them up as they walk through the door Gamer people; This is for all my Tech-y nerds Working with computer components Make sure you stay grounded We don’t want an electrical eruption I hated Network Theory, But I still didn’t get a B. The “have you tried restarting,” people. Surfing the Internets, refer to Wikipedia people. Tech people; This is for all the Snowboard bums, We ride hard, but still chill Jumping in front of the skiers for a mighty thrill We do it for an Adrenaline rush Boardin’ through the trees, And the snow that is white and plush Snowboard people; This is for all the Music lovers That let the beat move their souls Bumpin’ to the rhythm Dancing out of control Let the beat take you away Fist pump yourself into the night, Even though I can’t dance, ‘cause I’m White. Music people.

For my people

This is for all my battle buddies, HOOAH! Serving in Iraq, Serving in Afghanistan. With a grainy, sandy, hot, and humid desert surrounding you. Looking into miles of nothing. Always ready, always on patrol, ready to roll. Ducking your head to re-load in the middle of the firefight. Taking a stand against the evils of the world. To my battles with integrity, We all bleed the same, Fighting for freedom of the Red, White, and Blue Live green die green Scream it with me at the top of your lungs: HOOAH! Soldier people; This for all the clowns that play Video Games Talking that 1337 (LEET) speak Owning some newbs for fun Screaming at the little kids that they **** I’m taking on the girls 1 versus 1 Passing by the hours staring at the screen Drinking Mountain Dew, and eating skittles Sniping people with your M4, Blowing them up as they walk through the door Gamer people; This is for all my Tech-y nerds Working with computer components Make sure you stay grounded We don’t want an electrical eruption I hated Network Theory, But I still didn’t get a B.

It's time to contemplate the twilight of post-modern idols - An Ideal can we live for one? We lay out what we stand for in simple platitudes then spend all our time defining what we're not despite all the death done in its name Protecting Freedom's just an umbrella replace "carpet bomb families" with "neutralize enemies" - who threatened our Liberty but that means sway elections away from those that reject economic puppetry Cut the cord if you want us to buy Contras Reaganomics define Drug War: Sold crack, bought guns from Iran, fund death squads in Nicarag-Hooah! Freedom's lambs they had to die They tried to reach out against exploited workers so even Catholic priests got murked Yes, murdered but also muddied in the waters of historiography's story As in, no one studies history Today's armchair historians they just find bargains and hero worship while they channel surf Pulled by yachts they don't make waves Oceans abound but most just coast in creeks and canals No Wake Zones Think you're woke, bro? You just came up with a narrow strait thought that was simply dismissed by Heraclitus of Ephesus nearly three millennia ago Your certainty of knowing brings danger of you drowning Cause "Ever-newer waters flow on those who step into the same rivers." All I know is fire so burn a hen for Prometheus and we'll topple poser's podiums then yoga flame them back to oneness Cause after horrific mediation and barring off public relations You'll catch me drunk playing video games with butchers and their daughters

You were Right but Couldn't Get Anyone to Listen

I hope it isn't Overstepping my bounds To intrude on your conversation. My friend, There is always a war Going on somewhere. Whether soldiers clashing, Cannons flashing, Or fighting our personal demons. Even the savior himself Was betrayed by those He sought to help. Humanity is always trying To destroy itself. It may be macabre, But it's impossible to save Them all. Because in every war, There are casualties. And there are always Those in the crossfire. A stray round will always fell A civilian or two. Take it from someone who knows. Don't try to save the world. Just do your best to Make it back alive. And know that there are others Fighting at your side Watching your back. And with their final breath, Those that fall will be saying. "Till death, till the end. This we'll defend." Hooah.
