Gloom and Doom Music

I hear the sound of gun shot
and music.
Patriotic music
Doom and gloom music
It's Memorial Day
My husband is glued
to the TV watching 
because his father was
blown off three ships
More gloom and Doom music
The dog and I are curled up,
in the recliner,
trying to not listen to
the gunshots.
or the gloom and doom music.
It filters in anyway

Sadly it becomes a big part of the world we now live in. Tom

Yes, it does. But that's a world I pretty much stay away from.

I sure agree with you. Nice poem. I'm not fond of war movies. Too much gloom and doom.

This is how I feel, as I hide out in my office, away from the gunshots.
