Silent War

Soldiers

in the art of

listening.

Armed with silence,

the enlisted stand firmly

planted in uprooted lawlessness,

locked and stiff only taking time

to breath in new endeavors.

With freedom ringing,

a cadet does not question

integrity or intelligence

because recognition

is without delay.

Within silent refuge,

a trooper lays down weapons

in the surplus of

a diplomatic state of mind.


A silent soldier is on reconnaissance.  


Embattled in insurgent conscious ideas

a guard stands at attention,

deciphering coded justice

and questioning veracious intentions.

Saluting presidential kisses,

service personnel look on 
with smiling eyes

to the young and old,

while protecting the sick

and innocent in parade

around the world.

Voiced, a militant's opinions are deployed

after the argument has offered defeat,

returning home to contend with

others in repudiated combat. 

A silent soldier takes a sniper's shot with precision truth.

Within politics, commandos 
remain on the battlefields

standing between God's judgment

and verdict being lost

to Man's law and order.

Retreating into silence,

a G.I. is fearless,

obtaining strategy

that separates them

from ranking rudimentary dogma.

Reluctantly surrendering

to three words

that form a thinly lined heart,

beating and pulsing....

I love you, I need you, I have you,
I WANT YOU!

A soldier-at-arms knows 
sacrifice and gain 
and always brave 
to face battle once again.
