C Troop Is Soft
C troop is the sloppiest, the sergeant told me. stay away.
can’t I help them get better? I asked, my big mistake that day.
No, they are cupcakes, he told me, soft and not much good at war.
I ran over to take a peek. They were tasty, that’s for sure!

Running Feet
I see running feet
Disarrayed like troubled ants
Running violently in indefinite path
I see hunters
Pursuing preys dodging at gunshots
Continuously in all directions
Justification: Our cattle are hungry!
I see blood of the running feet
Splatter, splashing, in churches and mosques
In bed rooms and streets
On grasses, rocks, books, everywhere
A troop of insurgents
Has invaded our land.

Please Dont Shoot Us
They gathered as a freezing group
To plead with the sharp-shooting troop
Not to even around them snoop.
Their murderous wings not flutter but droop
For being, all affable chicks in a coop:
A working class from The South Loop
Travelling with a fun-loving troupe
And an athlete draped in his whoop…
A tears-unlocking “Please, Don’t shoot us!”
By the just-discharged from

Trump troop was discovered doing their duty,
And about them he wrote another beauty;
He did realized,
How disorganized;
Forged own names with frequent fecundity.

Pride In the American Troop
They held the field, men side by side,
Their will intact, their fears subside.
They mustered in so many fields,
And held the ground, refused to yield.
At Lexington went toe to toe,
With British troops, a worthy foe.
McHenry saw our banner fly,
Against a burning brightened sky.
At Antietam, when thousands died,
They calmed themselves, fought on with pride.
On the Eastern front

Troop 108
As I sit and throw sticks on the fire,
And watch as the flames crackle and grow higher.
The fire illuminates the shadow of the trees,
Giving them an eerie look especially when the limbs are moved by the breeze.
They take on a monstrous effect as they move to and
