while bullets whistle in battle...
big Sam worked at the factory
under government contract
packing bullets for shipment;
heard that a graduate
from high school,
took a bullet that paralyzed him
in a friendly fire shoot-out.
big sam took 3 days off from work.
DEFECTIVE HELICOPTER IN FLAMES
reads the headline.
it sits in front of
J.T. in the early morning,
with a cup of coffee nearby;
only to spot an acquaintance
that died, and put his head
on his arm at the table
and started to sob.
he saw the description
of the malfunctioning part.
After all, he worked in quality control.
it's tough times;
even in fictional times,
but i lay my wreath
upon this; to rest in a somber moment,
where my eyes close slowly
in the wake of this emotive peace.

My Erotic Taleabout 19 years agoI read this several times to ensure what I thought you were painting, I may not be perfectly clear but I very much enjoyed the feel of the poem, the somber touch opened a portal to the depths of your wisdom, I tossed a coin but never heard it's ring.
Wanton Vixxxenabout 19 years agothis is one of the most somber reflections of Life's tragic ironies you have ever penned. Very powerful in its words, the poem's structure yet amplifies the mood of the verse. Because of those combined factors, you have created one of My favorite dcpoet's works <smile> Terrific job, don!
