A thank you letter to the entire Veterans Administration.
Thank You for 02:59.
Thank You through my next finish line.
For never saying "Never"
And for never Saying "Can't"
Always a new Challenge
and you always lead the chant.
You pushed me on to Victory.
The likes of which most never seen.
My winning lap among the stars!
Ha, I even got to race fast cars.
I feel a Duty now to Thank You!
And so With all of me i say,
Thank You for my three right feet!
My Joy!
And your help along my way.
Apologize Quick
As a kid I knew the taste of my foot in my mouth.
I'd apologize quick if I wanted It out.
Around the world there is no doubt.
Mom and Dad steadfast helped me figure it out.
Was bitter at first, not easy, I'd pout.
Want to leave it to somebody else to figure out.
Because you see it wasn't my fault.
I'd risk the world to figure that out.
Well, i won't! I just can't, because I already did.
Mom and Dad helped me figure this out as a Kid.

Earth
If all the earth a flower.
People could be seeds
Seeds who sew their Purpose.
We designed our needs
The flower soon to Perish
Common Cost to Breed
Unless we Work Together
How do we leave this weed?
Yin to Yang
Gin in my Tan
Queray my answer
Two masterful dancers
Binded to nay ending chase
Niether willing to lose the race
If I had a time machine.
I'd bring you to the farm
We'd visit 1989.
I'd keep you in my arms.
We'd play untill we slept standing.
Falling on our backs we're landing.
Hiding, seeking, clapping, crying.
Happy.
Everything! but dieing.
Dad is there,
And his and his.
Nieces, nephews, cousins, this.
Is the End. The All. The Last.
As time stands still.
All futures past.
A Soldier
A Boulder.
Our Nations defense.
We’re trained and we’re ready.
Past all recompence.
Then we come home to find a new world.
Now he's a Dad, he Loves his little girl.
This new world has changed,
Though he has not.
Many nights spent alone.
Cold room with a cot.
Brains not the same,
this, he knows, How?
Like he was reset,
That’s all, he knows, Now.
He lost his family, his little girl was taken.
His ex used his service to help her to rake in.
Any wealth or privilege his service provided.
At the end of the day, no one to confide in.
Drunk and Desperate
Always alone.
It should have been a flag, instead of him coming home.
He knows what has to happen.
He's seen it done before.
First, he'll a note.
Then, his body hit's the floor.
Tell a tail,
hold it true.
write a story,
to make it through.
Convince ourselves we are moral beings,
While we stretch the truth to fit our feelings.
Life lived in dilution.
Blissful state.
Overwhelming illusion.
No control of fate.
Believe it then you can.
There is no one stopping you.
Would throw caution to the wind.
Do all that you can do.
All in mind
A secure dilution.
lights the path
To Obscure illusion.
