The Vote of Sacrifice
"Brother Kimo, English for 'James', 1950-1969, volunteered Marines Scout, someplace called 'Hamburger Hill' near Da Nang, Vietnam, peace my brother," ... by the Poet's brother.
Rules are made and set to function
as their roleplay trumps yours,
lest the game be of election,
A-Plus, winner of wars.
Won by words avoids dysfunction,
body ails naught mind ills,
democracy changed our nation,
daughters, sons--still kills.
Tyranny wins o'er weaker minds
let the bonnet be free ...,
stung 'said, creator of mankind's,
--they left ... slides down that tree.
Evil knows evil, knows their own,
that tree's a free-for-all.
Evil don't overcome good ... sewn
Good overcome evil.
Once 'ere the Eagle flew its course,
turned bee caught and stung 'um,
bitter herbs--better duck or borsch,
--keep loved ones safe at home.
