Someone Else's War?
by scott from jail | |
I missed the date to send a care package not because I do not care but because the artificiality of the thing seems so contrived A thousand excuses welling up - I have not heard from her What should I send? Perhaps the first group was enough - I struggle with the simplest sort of love, the momentary smile Not because there is not love, but because it has been difficult - And so here, away from Afghanistan, the someone else is me, you are doing MY bidding I am the fool who ordered this. Fight ON! I declare. SAID THE FOOL. ~ Copyright © 2013 - scott from jail Published: 9/12/13 · Author's Page · Next Poem |
