Midnight Message

A Poem by Baby Ricochet
"

A few random thoughts before the weekly grind

"
A gecko's crawling up my wall 
Chasing after roaches
I scratch my cat under her chin
My mouse pad she encroaches 

My girlfriend's drifting off to sleep 
I guess I'll join her soon
We have to go to work tomorrow 
So we can't sleep till noon 

The daily grind of peace time life
has it's precious moments
Civilian life's a constant strife
Takes lots of adjustments 

Though I'm not the suicide type
I know why veterans crack 
We were the s**t when we were there 
We're nothing when we're back 

No I'm not a suicide type
My motto's simple hymn 
Hajji couldn't f*****g kill me
I'm not doing it for him

Thank you Amos
well said Baby, we hear a lot these days about soldiers returning from war and suffering to readjust its a sad thing that the ones so happy to send them to kill or be killed can't find a way to help them after, if they expect them to face death then nothing is to little to give back.

Thanks Richard
Sometimes it takes more grit to get through a day of mundane life than to live through a day of fierce battle. Routine is killing. My way of looking at it..."Same s**t, Another day!"

A well thought poem on the resilience needed to get through everyday life, especially for those who have been in a war.
