SEALS

A Poem by Baby Ricochet

His head exploded
Like an over ripe pumpkin
Hit with a sledgehammer
His body crumbled to the street
Like a broken horse pinyada
In a nightmare Christmas parade
He joined the other two
Lying dead in the street that morning
No one would move
dogs wouldn't even come out
To check out the bodies
as they often did
They had the street pinned down
Stone cold mother fuckers
SEALS

Baby Ricochet
Its about a SEAL sniper team we were sent to cover. It was the only time in my life I had ever seen SEALS in the field. They weren't like us. It's really hard to explain.

All I can say is if i were there and on the opposing side I would surrender!!!!!! and hope they gave me MRE s and water. One thing about Americans they are averse to killing unarmed men women and children.I would sure try to be one of those!!!

Seals are different... and the same. Special Forces are different... and the same. Marines are different... and the same. CIA guys doing the dirty work are different... and the same.

Thank you Mr G
Walking me hand in hand to meet the horrors and terrors of war. It both amazes me and upsets me what humanity can do.

They are whatever an aggressive government makes them to be.

I don't think I could have watched that in person... I had a hard time just reading it and wrapping my head around it, imagining it. I've seen some messed up stuff but that's... different.
