Premium Member The Jellybean Asp

A couple years after earning a G.E.D.
He came home from a tour of duty.
Sporting a tattoo and a pair of war eyes.
(2 black jellybeans where there once were stars).

One day the shine in those stars was displaced.
When his closest grunt friend got blown away via an I.E.D. 
Rigged by a teenage Asp, slithering in a blistered land.
Dreaming only in the colors of death.


Premium Member Remember, Remember

Remember, remember,
the 11th of September,
the Bush administration's conspiracy and plot.
I know of no reason,
why the Bush administration's treason,
should ever be forgot.

I have never served a tour of duty in the military,
but to this very day I struggle with PTSD.
I was one of the first responders during the 9/11 tragedy.
The horrid images in my mind I will never be able to un see.
