Transformed from chronic to acute and bloody?

Acute Politics

Oh Meliboeus, I have half a mind
To take a hand in politics
Before now poetry has taken notice
Of wars, and what are wars but politics
Transformed from chronic to acute and bloody?

  1. So much for those who say that soldiers are only high school drops out, or losers, or no future youngsters ! You are currently proving them wrong.

    A soldier, a writer, a poet, a scholar, and an engineer ... Wow ! I m impressed !

    Take very great care of you. Please, please stay safe. If I judge from the comments your writings get, you are much loved. If I judge from your writings, you deserve to be much loved. So take care if only for the people in America who love you so much and wait for you to come back sound, safe and healthy.

    Thank you, for everything. For what you re doing, and few people around the world are able to do it. And for doing it properly. And for writing about it. Thank you. Take great care.
