Who doesn't love a war poem??


Baghdad: 12-12-06

I carried him into the building’s entrance
Leaned him against the wall with his legs stretched out
I sat against the opposite wall
Our feet were touching
“Why did you have to do that?”
No response
“That was fucking stupid.”
No response
I reached into his pocket and grabbed his pack of smokes
I took a cigarette and extended my hand to him
No response
I yelled upstairs
“Hey Pat, you blew his brains out the back of his head.”
A response
“Fucking awesome!”
“He had a full pack of smokes too!”
A response
“Hells yeah, even better!”
