An Anti War Rant.

I hate it being on point. 
My guts they go so tight. 
I don"t know what i"ll do, 
if i really have to fight. 

I creep along the path, 
the jungle is so dense. 
There is hardly any noise 
and the heat is so intense. 

My shirt sticks to my back 
and my eyes are stung with sweat. 
There is not any part of me 
that is not soaking wet. 

My nerves are jingling bad. 
This fear of mine"s a sin. 
It must not take control, 
i cannot let it win. 

I manage one more step, 
when the heavens start to rain. 
Then Hell joins in as well 
and i feel a piercing pain. 

My eyes are wide with shock 
as my body hits the ground. 
The sky is bright, lit up, 
in a cacophony of sound. 

My fingers feel my blood 
and it fills me full of dread. 
I am losing so much now 
that soon i will be dead. 

I have just become a number, 
a statistic for the press. 
Or even propaganda 
to end this bloody mess. 

My tour of dutys over. 
I did my country proud. 
Now they send me home 
covered in a shroud. 

This small town boys a hero. 
Around my toe a tag. 
my only badge of honour 
inside this body bag. 

I"d been here twenty weeks, 
a war had to be fought. 
But the saddest part of all 
is i did not fire a shot. 

You have to serve your country, 
but let us tell the truth. 
Nothing justifies 
the killing of your youth. 

So let"s salute them all. 
For nothings ever won, 
and let us not forget 
the Mothers of these sons. 

But the saddest point of all 
and the burden we all share. 
Is that everybody knows 
that Governments just don"t care! 



There now, that got that off my chest.

Fool-Proof Smile

so suffocated in this state i call hate
you could look at me and not notice a single tense muscle
because underneath this frown, this fool-proof smile there’s anxiety, depression and it’s keeping 
me down
i can’t acknowledge the fact i’m losing you
i can’t acknowledge the fact i’m being ignored
every single word i say comes out my mouth and retracts back after i am scolded.
nothing i say can ever come out right
if i could i’d stay up all night, to prove my truth
all i need is an ear to hear me out
but you’re far too busy tuning out the truth behind the lies, the frown beneath that fool proof 
smile
and all i ever wanted was for you to listen. listen twice 
then, then you can tune me out.

Premium Member I Knew We Would Meet One Day

We had never met before
In-trepidation absorbed my emotions
Knowing today is the day
It's hitting me in slow motion

Our meet is drawing near
As I await this moment in time
My heart now beats a little faster
Losing it's normal rhyme

Around the corner I go
As I see her standing there
Beauty just as I imagined
This time it's polite to stare

Her figure delights me so
As it would to many a man
We meet, we touch
My eyes now in loving scan

I sit down elated with joy
Knowing I'll remember this day for ever
Finally meeting the Lockheed SR-71
Not of nature, but a Blackbird so clever
