DISTRACTED
Absence of thought
sudden loss of reality
a single moment
life can change
forever different
than past daytimes... nighttimes
The snap of a twig
a flash in the sky
the sounds of silence
the cries in the night
a brothers coughing
the brighten of dawn
Damn the pain of
daydreaming pasts
in the now present
there may be no tomorrow
fuck this war... fuck this moment
dieing would be a relief
No one should endure
uncertainty of war
misunderstanding its goal
what's to gain
a past thrown away... for what
a future that may not
go past the next moment
Is there only one
with these horrid thoughts
Am I alone in mine
help me understand
why I may die
teach me to believe
war is right
This stench covers me
the fear of each second
eyes that won't close
a mind that won't rest
a distraction of sight and sound
distraction... a fatal mistake
will it be mine
will it be now
I AM DISTRACTED
