I Didn'T Die In The Mud Poem by David McLansky

I Didn'T Die In The Mud

Rating: 5.0


Face down in a pool of blood
In some foreign field of rice
A forgotten human sacrifice

I didn’t as a man return
With peeling skin all splotched and burned,
Making faces wince and turn,
A grotesque object curtly spurned

I didn't l lose an arm and leg
A hero with no hands to beg
A crazy man, a jumpy vet
Who cannot manage to forget.
