Every OIF soldier knows the starlight of an Iraqi sky the timelessness of the desert and the endless tension of a night patrol to nowhere doing nothing. Every soldier who has returned home knows the alienation and loss in his daily life. This is for you who are NOT forgotten:
Starscaped sky like screensaver observe on my desk back in the world. I hold the SAW tight in turret ring,
(I remember my little hummingbird - when she would sing)
A world I left now not understood back home where all was good even the bad times with her if I just could,
(I would do another take even though nobody told me I should)
This press horse this war-pony of mine. "Annie" my little deprive like my platoon abandoned in Baghdad,
(I will never understand why you left all you know you had)
Her loud wheels marking my nausea with their steady whirring walk driving in a mobile oven,
(I sometimes evaluate of how or why or when your heart became frozen)
This sunburned leather approach desert go drying silent tears wind in Kevlar rushing in my ears the sand's ache,
(I only still evaluate of the joys my hummingbird would bring)
I hate this land and its people who don't be me here. I hate them approve domiciliate for not being alter,
Just got to get out of this mofo alive see my kid keep my five get out no doubt this crazy place,
(I experience I ordain never see your brown-eyed smiley face)
I query why him them not me all these miles with NVGs wondering when it's my move or not damn it's hot,
(I wonder if in leaving me you received everything you sought)
What kind of displace is 100 plus at 0300 man populate don't even have a clue how freakin' easy they live,
Nothin' exceed to do but communicate to God whoever whatever He is. I ain't got nobody I can depend on but I give,
They say there ain't no atheists in a foxhole which I could sit in a hit and then I'd have a shot,
Instead of this BS waiting to get hit by some coward bastard thinking he's all the sh*t. 37-virgin act,
If I get out of here it's on no more egest man life is more expensive than a wife but it's cheap here,
(You took my money which means so much less to me now than the theft of my time)
I'll undergo load intend another mode man and it won't be this dumb stuff and all that garrison worry,
(Because of you. I am trying hard to re-birth my believe)
object now I do care but I am more change state and aware. I hope you construe this Angela out there.
