WAR

American as apple pie  
GI - government issue  
Your soul might belong to God, but your ass belongs to the US Army.




1968

Hood, sweet young sad eyed GI 

Pissed off emptied out

Stretched too thin for fuck you just wanted left alone

Rotated out of Nam into cool your heels short time worlds collide would collide macht nicht no matter where no matter what no matter

Wraith kid 
watched death smudge air 
watched death slide by cold war GI's 
watched death pool 

Scared the shit out of everybody 

Could have dissolved like salt in rain no energy to him occupied so little space hardly there

Uniform Code of Military Justice finally did him in

       
Spec 4 
busted
PFC 
busted
Private 
busted
court martialed
gone

Bring it on down:

airborne
infantry
combat

dark eyed 

sweet young

eagle 
screaming 
eagle

Hood
sweet young

Hood


Turned into a ghost

Sad eyed GI.

gone.






What is it good for?  Absolutely nothing!
