**Poems-** __** The Vietnam Psalm **__ The Vietnam War is my nightmare   Thou shall not want another It maketh me stay awake all night  It depresseth me all day It stealeth my soul  It leadeth me down the path of suicide   It maketh me take thy Lord's name in vain Yeah, when I walked through the Valley of Death  I feareth everything, nothing worse known to mankind My machine gun and my buddies comforted me  Thou prepareth a meal before me "ham and mothers" In the shadows lurketh mine enemies  Thou annointeth my head with mosquito spray Surely this evil and madness will follow me  All the days and nights of my life I shall dwell in my house, in my basement, with my machine gun  In fear of and whith the nightmare of the Vietnam War, forever **__ Grass __** **__by: Carl Sandburg__** Pile the bodies high as Austerlitz and Waterlooo. Shovel them under and let me work-- I am the grass; I cover all. And pile them high at Gettysburg And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun. Shovel them under and let me work. Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor: What is this place? Where are we now? I am the grass. Let me work. __**The Ten Demandments**__ My first thought is of my war Nothing else seems to matter anymore My second thought is of the dead I wonder why these thoughts I keep in my head My third thought is trying to stay alive Unitl this day I wonder how I survived My fourth thought is of PTSD Why the hell won't it let me be? My fifth thought is a flashback Wondering how the hell I made it back My sixth thought is of a firefight I think of these during the day and the night my seventh thought is of sniper fire Claymores, sandbags, and concertina wire My eighth thought is of the men we left behind So long ago, behind enemy lines My ninth thought is of the Vietnam Vet Those on the ground and thouse flying jets My tenth thought is of suicide Wondering and waiting for the other side Music was another big influence on social media.
