I am not the same man I was
Before I came in
But I do not know

Ranger
by Ron Cervero
My friends blew up in front of me
I gave mouth to mouth to a soldier,
that didn't have a face
Just raw bloody meat
Eyes out of sockets,
and hanging off to the side
No one knows or cares
what I saw at the rim of hell
Not dismembered
It's my mind that haunts me --
