Warrior's Manuscript

<p>No it's not another war story; nothing gets blown up but some scammers get shot. It's a surprising collection of poetry through the eyes of a Viet Nam era veteran who turns his eyes and words to the thoughts that the men and women who serve our country often think about and a few odd things they would never think about. These poems many of them brief stories of adventures many imaginings and laughter and many a call to peace for it is ultimately the goal of every Warrior to bring peace by defending freedom are not exclusively military oriented. Perhaps if you are reading this as a Warrior you will be disappointed that there aren't more military-oriented poems in here I hope not I hope my homage to you in the first poem 'Warrior' will be enough. There are others that speak to the way our government is treating our soldiers both past and present that I wish everyone in the country could read. And there is the poignant 'Sonata for War' that tells of two opposing soldiers who come together to play a beautiful song on an abandoned piano in a war field then separate without a word perhaps to face each other in battle next day.</p><p> </p><p></p><p></p>
