War Zone

May 11, 2008
I can smell the salt of the ocean
as my heart pounds, my hands shake,
But the drink warms me, calms me.

I battle my way to the surface and bob
there like a cork, bombs are flying,
bullets falling,

I can already see the dead.

One of my men in the boat behind me
whispers a prayer and marks the holy
cross upon himself, the only word I catch
is ‘Amen’ and then my sense’s are filled
with the stinging salt and the blooded
sea water.

Soliders, we will
never know who
sons and daughters
of the red
the white
the blue.
