Why Do Bums Like Strawberry Ice-Cream?
I remember the golden years of being a child.
Especially the strawberry ice cream.
But now,
I'm given orders to proceed over the compiled;
compiled bodies of my dead brothers.
General Calhoun tells me to proceed 20 yards.
I hear an explosion, I hear my brother's scream.
I'm scared..
Scenes like these are for the movies,
Look at me now,
front line infantry reporting for duty.
I cried when my mother left me.
I cried when my brother left me.
I return home to the one place I can find happiness.
But, my neighbors look at me and snarl.
Even the kids look down on me.
My country labels me a hero,
But society labels me a zero.
I remember the golden years of being a child.
Especially the strawberry ice cream.
