BY W'S HAND

TRYING HARD TO UNDERSTAND
A SOLDIER DYING BY HIS OWN HAND!
JUST WHAT DID HE ENDURE
DURING HIS COMBAT DUTY TOUR?
JUST WHAT HAD HE SEEN
TO DO THIS ACT MOST OBSCENE?
JUST WHAT WAS SO EVIL
TO JUSTIFY SUCH PERSONAL UPHEAVEL?
WAS IT SOMETHING OTHERS COMMANDED
THAT LEFT HIM SO MORALLY STRANDED?
DO OTHERS REALLY CARE
THAT THE SOLDIER WAS EVEN THERE?
DO THE LIKES OF CHENEY, CONDI, DONALD, AND PAUL
ACTUALLY CARE THAT SO MANY LIVES THEY MAUL?
HOW ABOUT THE COWARD OF CRAWFORD,
DOES HE CARE WHAT THE SOLDIER ULTIMATELY OFFERED?
DID THE WAR DECISION BY THE TEXAS DRY DRUNK,
CAUSE THE SOLDIER'S TERMINAL FUNK?
THE SOLDIER DIED LESS BY HIS OWN HAND,
BUT BY W'S NEEDLESS WAR SO DEVIOUSLY PLANNED?

FOR PHIL AND ALL THE OTHERS.
