It riped right through
this so called armor plate
Through flesh and bone
no mercy in it's wake
It kills without feeling
Like the one who set it off
death and destruction
it hides and waits
I hope it never finds me
or the friends that I have made
but we have lost to many
to it's destuctive rage
Author notes
Option 2, On War, This is the killer that I fear most being in Iraq. I pray every day for those that go outside the gate and fast this distructive Device. IED Improvised Explosive Device.

Makes me wanna cry reading things like this. Reading your writings make me think of when my hubby and my best friend was in Iraq. I like how you put your emotions and the facts into your writings. I'm sorry to hear about your friends.
