soldierA Poem by h d e rushinTwas not the me you passed last night it was the he you thought I was the one the teacher tapped and said he will rise to king because his walking is a proud assault. A jaunt so lovely you'de agree that he nor you or she, not leaf or gale could stand in judgement adequately could place his tongue on frozen pole could be the mouthpiece of the judged to indict the wrongful claiming soul to pry the pettifoggers urge to clean his sixteen in the dark. to wait in ravaged wasteful sloth in heavy flak and metal storm with leaden hearts and plumbeous ark Twas me you passed in rumpled flag in torn lamella honor lost who ate the garbage of the rich who fought the wars with noble cost who lost their medals years ago who couldn't even tell you that the ships that carried them aloft drug back the souls of patriots.
