The War in the Head

I read the words over and over

What did they mean?

An online video seemed to fit

Or was that just for me?

Explosions, destruction

The tattered corpses lie down

A part of the landscape

Soon forgotten 

As the Army moves around

But what for reality

Sitting in a waiting room

08.00, 09.00, 10.00

Maybe they forgot me this time

11.00, 12.00, 13.00

Recruiter went to my high school

Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork

Did you lie?

Did I?

Fear of a thousand lies I never told

Found out and my family is in the cold

Sworn in?

Maybe.

14.00, 14.30

Things start to happen

The War in my Head may come yet

Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork

Did you lie?

Did I?

Did I lie?

Did I forget?

Did I miss something?

Speak now?

Of what?

Damn I'm too old for this
