I wrote this last night, after my best friend told me that his best friend died:
Maybe the memories were too much to bear
maybe the medical professionals did not care
maybe something natural took his life
another vet went home the other night
his family around him at his side
his friend beside him
inside he cries
he went peacefully
or so i hope
he went with god
he now has a new home
where angels dwell
and he no longer fights
The battles
the demons
that haunted his nights
i will never get to know this man
except one thing i can say
he was a great man
i met him once
and he talked to me
talked a bit about Nam
among other things
so many words
so little time
another vet went home
the other night
