WAR……..
Three letters
As a young soldiers
Modern day Gladiators
We coveted
These three letters
Watching Vietnam War films
Clutching a tin of lager
We blurred the cinematic bloodshed
WAR……Its here
Hip Hip Hooray
Willingly we went
More green grist to the mill
Crack open another tinny
We are fucking Supermen

Can men be sassy? Yes, they can. In your face poetry - I love a good reality slam. Burp? Yeah. Burp! - my brother was a Viet Nam vet. - Just Bein' Stella
