Gas mask
bombshell
Landmine
Dizzy Spelll
Shotgun
Street sweep
Chosen one
On the brink
Hot wire
Sherman tank
Cold chill
Frozen fate
And all with in the course of a minute
became complicit
Get in get with it
Choose a target… take your pick
As long as the lines were held
The solder yelled
Give them hell
Artillery shells
Dead men
Surround
Bullet spent
Blood soaked ground
Helmet hair
Gun oil
Beware
plans foil
Because your boyfriends coming home
A hero returns
Never again leave you alone
He burns
The chemical residue
Gunpowder on the sleeve
He pursues
He proceeds
Blows his mind away
Out the barrel smoke
Figures begin to fade
As the shoulder jolts
Steal enters the vain
The action of the bolt broke
Playing war games
To many days awake
To stay sane
When awoke
Talk slow
Talk low
Don't talk to much
Or dig your whole
Bang bang
Cold dew cough
Ears rang
Blasting off
Ground control
Is expecting a new cadet
Qualifications met
Just your soul
In trade of no regrets
The criteria set
Get what he expects
In the form of relief
Able to become somebody
else, anyone else
Who didn't feel how he felt
In your world
He took the referral
An appointment time
In mine
Where the lines
Of sand on the tables and roads
Are ashes up the nose
That breath out dust
Turns blood into rust
Twice shy baby that used to be us
From dawn to dusk
Cause we're the only one we trust
Bitten more than once
Came back and went nuts
There's a plus side
When the soul die
Becoming ruthless
With lust
Not even perpluxed
As the last blink shuts
Ahh ha paralized…...
