A Soldier's Death“A Soldier’s Death”A Soldier's Death
A soldier came home today, A brother, a son, a friend I did not know.
His body draped and covered, Our country’s colored pride, Our people begging forgiveness, In gleaming stripes and shinning stars, And mournful shots proclaiming Brave sacrifice…
He died a soldier’s death, The old poets would have said, For “God and country,” And “hearth and home,” But some would say He died unjustified,
Far away, and alone…
I imagine he died outside &nb
An Apology for IndifferenceAn Apology for IndifferenceAn Apology for Indifference
Absent sensation, looking off tiredly,
I see a little girl laughing shyly, A father’s golden teasing playfulness, And she, blushing in bright blue blamelessness…

Of the reasons I frown
Sometimes my love
Is for the life that I live
And other times just to die
What I wouldn't give
Not manic depressive
As far as I know
Despite my extreme highs
And 6-feet-under lows
Depressive mind sets

Happy F-in' HolidaysChristmas comes but once a year And with it comes this thing I fear- With bated breath and creeping fear- In cold sweat, I wait to hear The dulcet tones of "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer."Happy F-in' Holidays
The insane cackling of a bearded fat man From every store is more than I can stand- That know-it-all laugh is more than I can stand- For these long, long months I've made a plan To stick those eight tiny reindeer up his big, fat can.
