Advance: I do believe the beginnings of WWIII, started in Korea, and went onto Vietnam; and then all the little wars in-between culminated any kind of world stability they thought WWI and WWII would bring; and over from all this poured Eastern European wars. And now the Red Horse of Apocalypse is having its day in the Middle East, to include Israels continuing war, with its neighbors. But this is just a poem on the Iraqi War II, and perhaps it can be linked to the Afghan war, and Kashmir, so many wars and so many battle scared streets in villages, cities and residential areas:
The Poem
On the Battle Scared Streets
Throughout Iraq(Baghdad, Fallujah,
And Ramadi: to name a few)
Is where soldiers meet?
To police (now) the wars stability;
They seldom sleep,
Six hours on, six off; perhaps
Its enough; as they listen to
Metallicas: For whom the Bell Tolls,
While watching the clock
And reading anxious letters
Of fiances back home.
Quarters: theyre back to the hooch,
Like in Vietnam (make-shift
Barracks, for our military men).
They say we won the war, so,
Now its down to search and seizure
And close-calls!...
When they come home
Will they ever get over it?
I heard someone state:
Hard, to say, war has its own
Immortal fates
Battalions, regimentstours
Of duty; I know them all to well:
Theres no advice to give, except:
Duck, dont give an inch, and
Fight like hell.
