Shell shocked
Napalm dreams
War machine
Atomic mushroom clouds
Hide my view through the jungle
Agent orange chokes
My vision of hell soaks
Into experimental lab rats
While burnt out buildings crumble
H-bomb nightmares
Skin charred bare
In concentration camps
Where gas chambers rumble
Sweat soaked bed
Shell shocked head
Safe at home?
Brings an inaudible mumble

I feel the same way. Most of them have seen things that noone should ever have to see. I believe they really do need help to deal with all that they have gone through. Thanks for reading!

Dear KM,
This piece had me thinking there’s a whole culture of people who’ve sacrificed everything and go unrecognized for their service. Not that they’ve asked for the spotlight but a daily prayer for their well being is the very least I can offer up. Insightful thoughtful write. H🌷
