The Embodiment Of Private Tony Slovich

as a seed in his mothers belly

in time would grow to give birth

on his arrival he was greeted with a slap on his a*s

as a young child he would dream

of far off places with a king

in time he would have a paper route where he would shout the names

Tony had grown into a fine young man let the reader understand

this time he wanted to become a Marine

so he was drafted off to Vietnam

getting caught in the ditch smoking marijauna to calm

the tender nerves of brandly new made private

was running from the Viet Cong on Hoochi Ming City

was was anything but pretty

seeing dead bodies next to his tent

he hadn't made a single dent in what he was shortly to become

in time Tony would shine being chosen firts class in line

yet one day he was in a bind cause in a dream

surrounded by aliens creatures from outer space

this perhaps met his fate

they took Tony onboard to check his brain with devices

stripped from his duties for the moment he felt abandoned

gasping for air the aliens felt he really did care

he awaoke to fight once again

this time with new thoughts inside his brain

for many thought the dream was totally insane

yet in a while he would tell stories of when he was a child

for now he was left out in the wild of a different land

yet God had a different plan

　

at the end of his mission he was surrounded by family and friends

let everybody know the places and dreams that he experienced

a rush of cold air came through the auditorium

left alone in his silence of the moment

with tears in his eyes it came as no surprise

that the alien creatures made him very wise

at the very end of the speech he would stand and repeat

a letter from his dearly departed mother

"For he was never a drifter left to shame

yet was my fine son a private with honors,

I so love him with a love beyond comprehension

soon I will see him even though I'm going off to heaven"

not a pin drop in the auditorium for the people knew he was a special man
