Forgotten

Forgotten

We are still here

Like the remnant tatters of my letters home

I lie here still, embedded in a bed of clay

Physically fossilized yet peacefully forgotten

We are still here, burying our dead

Maggots dribble from my eyes

Cold cluzzened fingers, clung to guns

These tears now pierce my brain

Absorbing my memories of comfort

Feeding me dreary dismay

I pick up a gun and in vain

With a bullet’s bang I brand my brain

I am forgotten now,

No longer a part of this

Politically correct game

Liberation

Here's a poem I wrote a while back:

Liberation

Look into my candid eyes,

Listen to my candid lies,

I want you to understand.

The finer prospect I have planned,

Cities shake and shiver with thunder,

From fears of war and bombs’ blunder,

Sagging buildings against fiery flames,

Howling jets and scathing planes,

Hysterical men and children screams,

Sodden soil with streaking blood.

Inside the steel womb of my mind,

Our conscience lies deaf, dumb and blind,

Like a poverty stricken African child,

Don’t fret about death terror or destruction,

For the oil here will pay for reconstruction,

I bomb with love not with hate,

For we come not to slay but to liberate.
