Returning to the World br I needed a healing after killing so many people br Although I prefer nowadays to look at it as I had saved my life br And the lives of others like me br Justification is needed when blowing someone's brains from their cranium br And ripping their heart from their rib cage using a 'FMJ' br As the act of War does not inspire great or memorable poetry br Even if it is quite inspiring in its own ritual way br Of mutual exclusion and human sacrifice br I guess the best peacetime comparison br One could draw, would be defenestration br In enlisted terms that means throwing someone out of a window br War steals your muse when you’re a poet in uniform br It takes everything you've ever learned about the human experience br And throws all that Easter bunny and St. Nick crap out the window br But first it bloodies and water boards them both into confessing br Your first formative years were all packed with lies br And now you must deal with it or die like a limp dick G.I. Joe br With your dog tags crammed between your upper lip and your nose br You can see now why..... br There are not that many ways for one to return from battle.....
