First off, I am too old for this, but I am going to do it anyway. I am a 77 year old a Vietnam veteran who ,as you can tell by the title , has become cynical. I have ptsd and deal with it thru with humor, an understanding wife, fellow veterans and until recently always having one or two dogs in my life. I also write poetry ( or rhymes depending how you look at it) to get things out of my system or to make a point. Most of my friends say I do not think like normal people.
Many of my blogs will be on current topics and might have a poem or two , until I catch up on what I have written.
My first poem ever was on PTSD
I thought Vietnam was the conflict
But it was just the seed
Buried deep, taking root
Spreading like a weed
To dominate my subconscious
Until the time was right
To break thru the surface
The start of sleepless nights
Ode to Elections
We are Congress and the President
We have only one main care
That is to get re-elected
And there's no need to play fair
The truth it is not matter
It isn't even relevant
All the is important is
Are you a Donkey or an Elephant
We really didn't;t mean to put
Your budget out of sight
And it was that other guy
Who passed that law you did not like
We know that it is possible
That you might have some contempt
Because from all the laws we pass
We make ourselves exempt
But never mind social security
Healthcare or the war
More important is our election
To at least one term more
I wrote the above about decades ago .Think much has changed ?
That is all for now. I want to hit publish and see what happens
