...when I signed up...
Marines
I wanted to do the right thing
(for my country)
I stepped on a mine
...minus 2 legs at 20...
73
wheelchair
(blood & shit stained)
Bad, bad ptsd
He called me a baby killer
In 77
slapped me
(when No one watched)
burned me with cigarettes
(genitalia, private parts)))
starved me
He called me a baby killer
In 78
There was another one like me
(...let me see, let me see, you tried to hurt
yourself...)
slapped us
burned us with cigarettes
starved us
He made it look he had fed us
...at the picnic...
on the 4th
(Hungry)
Always Hungry
He called us baby killers
In 79
No TV for you today
...or any day...
Baby Killers
Killers Killers
Killers Baby
Baby Baby
(blood & shit stained)
No peace, never
Bad, bad ptsd
...wheelchair...
(blood & shit stained)
In some closet, somewhere
(Forgotten)
