“In the Miscalculation”


“In the Miscalculation”

cji
6/19/12

Every over the fires of night
grumblings and discussions
tall tales and lavender tastes
bright light off goggles worn
hundred’s killed wantonly
without guile or concern
lives destroyed at Utah
others meeting at Tarawa
pillboxes and barriers
all causalities of warfare
flames blowing sparks
old men talking the night
moon out of the sky talked
endless the days and nights
in the miscalculation of some
wanting successes to claim
leadership not at the fires
only the grunts to recount
history books left empty
never sitting at the fires
grumblings and discussions
without guile or concern!
