Battles Won In Wars Already Lost


Hell is the soldier's home.


 Victory worst of both worlds: 
the lie of war lives to kill another day.

The doom of peace sees no ally in Pyrrhic parades.

In fighting fatigues, fools finds foxhole favor.

Protecting plastic paradise, a mirage beyond the horizon.

God's will be dumb.

Military fright turns love cold as stone.

Glory dies lonely in the dead of night.

Freedom's dream strangled in chains of command.

Jeers disguised as cheers when the bullet strikes the bone.

The warrior's true struggle: to keep his life undiscovered.

Never a tomorrow, only today...

The end game remains insane.


Home is the soldier's hell.
