War's some civil ain't it?
BANG fires a bullet across the mississippi line
till dawn do we count our hours
seconds tick tock on their way by
and custard steps out of the shower
today is victory
yesterday's forgotten
tomorrow we'll be history
if we all werent in such a rotten
mood.

WAR
"Seconds tick tock on their way by" is totally perfect for any occassion, but I have never read it so descritively said. Beautiful, simply beautiful. Ezmerelda
POEM
Mountainman...I have read this poem several times trying to figure out exactly what is in it that moves me. I think it really wraps up in a tiny nutshell all of war, all that is to be said and said beautifully, even though war is ugly. It remains one of my favorites. Sincerely, Ezmerelda
