War's Aftermath - Inspired By Blue By M.J. Lemon Poem by Richard Wlodarski
War's Aftermath - Inspired By Blue By M.J. Lemon
He hit her in such moment
Of vulnerability
An episode of such stress
Triggered by PTSD
Her tears in swollen eyes
Reminding him of sniper
Mere child scared to death
Bawling as he wipes her out
She understands his pain
And suffering she tries
To be so courageous
With such a crippled life
He can't understand her love
It's been totally replaced
With such fear and damn rage
He prays for meeting in heaven

This poem, particularly that last stanza, captures this dark, stark reality. This one goes to myfavourites.
M.J., I am humbled and greatly flattered. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
