Drafted Into A Killing Spree Poem by Terence George Craddock

reality warnings tragic; writers poets write;
realistic fear horror; pain accounts of wars;
all wars are tragic; killing innocent lives;
youth sold passionate; movie hero myths;
war will acid agony; endured like worms;
maggots flash backs; eat brain teach lessons;
what is wrong what is right; as scream youths;
hero charges advances; cut bloody felled corpses;

head shot; dead silent instant;
ending speech; half through a word;
a splinter split; brain word never word;
nor sentence; completed no more thoughts;
nor words; will ever form be sentence spoken;
history repeats Adonis youth rots; maggot feast battle broken;
