Is, Is Not

Maybe I'm not ready for this.

People tell me what I want

and what I need

They say I good to go.

War is a funny thing.

We live in a world that a warrior is black and white.

Loved or hated.

Awake or sedated to a point they no longer feel

when they shoot.

War is a funny thing.

I've been trained in hand-to-hand.

Trained to kill.

Trained to shoot missles.

Trained to shoot machine guns.

But that's basic. Then the war came.

Now they say I've been trained for war.

War is a funny thing.

I'm preparing for the ride.

Learning my do's and dont's.

Learning a new language.

Ready too see a vast desert.

Ready to see a woman explode.

War is not a funny thing.
