Memories of Combate

M E M O R I E S OF C O M B A T Us older men To war have been. Learned our lesson All seems senseless. My friend who bunked Above my head Just two days latter I found him dead. Patriotism Runs deep in me. Send my grandsons to War This I can not see. It was a butterfly knife that took my Friend s life Deep in the jungles That dreadful Fateful night. No more memories of combat for me. In my later years Buried is where They belong to be.

Thousands upon thousands of veteran soldiers would give anything to erase the memories of war. This is sad...but none the less a good write.
