Welcome Chaos My Old Friend...


                               Today is National PTSD Day. I have PTSD. I'm a combat veteran. Sometimes I write poetry. It helps, and you get a glimpse of my thoughts...

Welcome Chaos

bring it on
bad beat 
don’t mess with me in the heat

bring it on
put the pressure on me
I’m as bad as bad can be

welcome chaos
my old friend
you’re always just around the bend

bring it on
It’s easy to see
violence is my destiny

bring it on
drop a bomb
I fought in Vietnam

welcome chaos 
I’m still here
would you like a Tiger beer?
**

Time for me to walk on down the road...
