Candy Cigarette

You’re like a candy cigarette

You get me thinking

like I’m 7 all over again,

thinking that having you

on my lips

is cool,

chic...

Oh, you got me thinking stupid!

How I was such a pretender with you!


and so we wear wide brimmed hats ...

glaring dastardly on high

we see the propaganda—

and happily carry on,

giving plenty shade to it


Gol!

Let me be

your soccer ball

That you kick around

I would get kicks out of it too

At least then,

I would be something you love


Bleed For the Truth

Truth hurts. We know.

We run straight up to the bombs

while others go the other way

We don’t search for cover- not at all.

We’re berserkers

We get hit hard by the shrapnel,

bleed like crazy.

But the blood is our war paint.

We keep charging forward!
