Flashes of Combat
Flashes of combat
of the rising tally from both camps
in a war that is faintly remembered
Flashes of training with the commandos
flashes of training with the marines
Flashes of action imprinted in memory
Taking out his bottle of pills
swallows three white pills
sleep quickly finds him
Dreams starting but they are peaceful
for he fought only on conviction
and clarity of purpose
The defender in battle
was declared messing in action
and now hes missing in action

KFS...
A dedication to all the privates
who have served in active
combat... peace.. shalom
