That's ALL me. Hah, I abuse the tag clouds. I'm sorry. Good thing such is seen as "found poetry."
...
Found scrawled in a plywood latrine in some desert post:
(forgive the caps, copy 'n paste job from my '06 A-stan journal)
"I THINK IT IS IRONIC
THAT THE INCOMPETENT
ORDER THE DEDICATED
TO LEAD THE INNOCENT
TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE
FOR THE UNGRATEFUL
ONLY TO BE FORGOTTEN
SERVING ONLY FOOLS
DEFENDING EACH OTHER
ASKING NO QUESTIONS
YET WONDERING WHY
DYING FOR A COUNTRY
THEY HAVEN'T EVEN
SEEN VERY MUCH OF
TRAINING FOR YEARS
PREPARING FOR WAR
LEAVING A LONELY LIFE
TO GO OFF TO NOWHERE
TO START ANOTHER ONE
TO RETURN TO NOTHING
ONLY TO BE FORGOTTEN"
