Wild and unseen
True and trivial
He stands willingly amongst the brushfire
of double jeopardy.
Trapped among abandonment
Coasting along the grapevine
he leaves to settle a past time promise
that leads to the intact psychology of the younger lad
who was otherwise only a dream to his father's ghost
Taken by savages of absract law
and atomic gunfire
Set by a tyrant who could never fathom
this loss.

Like the way you keep us up with the pace.
I studied both the world wars, vietnam war and the korean war, as well as the 'cold' war and others, so I know the history of these well and the affects.
