Cybernetic soldier
How long will it be
Till human troops aren’t
A necessity

amongst the rubble
and the snow
with eyes so pained
in boots that won't shine anymore

an actor he was typecast
a soldier hit by a blast
but as of right now
he milks a sad cow
farming a dramatic past.

Dead or alive

nature withers
and humanity suffers...!

When you ask 'soldier
what he fights for, it is not
apple pie and dear
old mom, nope this is what he
fights so hard for; a woman

When a soldier falls, they fall also
Who loved him. And we, who so
Serve in kind, must see they, too,
Are never left

Brass handles, polished,
Purple satin, heavenly,
Perfect wedding suit,
National flag neatly draped.
I salute thee, soldier mine!

The cavalry charged, leading the way
The infantry advanced, joining the fray
As for me, I was up to a little deviltry
Donned my goggles ~ battled virtual reality

Sorry, the soldier said, stifling a cry

Remember those brave soldiers who
have fallen in the defense of freedom

The tall veteran
wears a camouflage faded cap
and dark shades to hide
his smooth, scarred face: doesn't he wish
that somebody shook his hand...
ah, unpraised soldier!

I am a soldier
My bible my gun
I hurt no one
Prayer is my bullets
Faith is my shield
I am a soldier
In the army of my Lord

Taunting the day,
red moon rising,
tucking the sun,
back into bed,
calling me forth,
her faithful soldier,
collecting memories,
of stars for millennia,
night's watchman,
at it again.

Epitaph

For Memorial Day, 2023...
Rest now
The wind knows your name
It is heard in the song it sings to the stars
Now you can rest
And rest assured that no day
Shall erase you
From the memory of time

Light Verse

The scissor-
Twins like cup and saucer
Eyed,but no vission
Waiting for commands like a soldier
Tells,"single hand can't clap, come together"
Cuts like politicians
Wounds won't bleed
A house hold like a wife

Aftermath
Even when the war is over, you still fight the battles. You keep hold of them for posterity. Just like a real soldier from a war. Fighting the battles again and again in your head. Just like a Sven Hassel book.

In life…
Whether you remain as plain toast,
Or into a soldier you are cut,
Whether you are covered in marmalade,
Or dipped into yolk from an egg cup,
In life there’s one main rule, should you fall…
Stay butter side up!

Light Verse

I had a chocolate soldier
He had a chocolate heart;
He had a chocolate lady fair,
They never were apart.
They marched out in the morning
As daytime had begun
And there, beneath a cloudless sky,
They melted in the sun.
