Fire Flies

 
a poem by Dean Kuch
 

Desert darkness ensues,

another dies,
politicians' jokes amuse
,
the
fire flies.

 
Cameras at the ready.
HumVees move
turret gunner stands steady,
the
fire flies.

 
Nineteen years young
oh,the horror he's seen,
have only begun,
the
fire flies.

 
Roadside erupts,
blood and bone fuse red
war changes, corrupts
the
fire flies.

 
Little boy runs, laughing,
daddy's far, far away.
Sta
res in awe as he's catching
the fire flies...

In honor of all of the brave men and women who have fought and died in their service of this country. Dedicated too, to all of the family and friends they have left behind. God bless them, each and everyone.

The horrors of war. Thankfully, for the most part, our children here in the US are spared from such atrocities. Sadly, however, that isn't the case in the rest of the world.
