The Myth Maker.... Poem by Adryan Barnathan

just imagine
the unimaginable
when
a stranger
adorned with
war medals
dressed in an
army uniform
walks into your
daddies wake
stands up
and tells a story
about a man
you never knew
who crawled thru
muddy trenches,
dragging and
carrying him
for 14 miles
saving his life,
instantaniously
changing your memories
of your dearly departed one
into the status of
''a hero''-
the ''Myth Maker''
re-invents lives,
pushing a man
out of this world
on a high horse
and a cloud
by raising everyones
energy up
to help release
a soul-

just imagine.
