 Thank you, for your service 🫂 it's tough out there.  
 You’re welcome. It’s not something I speak of a lot on here. 

Army then FED ( I know the HORROR 😳👻

None of ever really retired … hence #poetry 
——
Warrior princess stood proud 
Assuring another’s right to life 
In an attempt to 
Win the hearts & minds of others?
It’s so much easier to destroy them. 

A warrior queen is created in one of two ways 
1. On the battlefield 
- taking part in death & destruction 
Or
2. In the comfort of advisors 
- Redacted stories being told

Who benefits? 
 
Foot soldiers for centuries
have carried the burden 
Manipulated by 
“powerful” lesser humans 
Who find beauty in 
Childish games and tokens 
Manipulations
False flags 
Glory 
Renounce their power 
My choice is to stand in my inherent power 
I’m a woman 
With feelings 
And regrets 
With respect to the dead 
Your voices still haunt me 

United States of Arrogance 
Blissfully entertained by football 
Ignoring the undercurrent of filth
Blood soaked earth 
striating tears of stained faces
Witnesses plead Peace
Warriors scream from their graves 
Who will be the last fallen soldier?

- Stay focused on pigskin while we all eat slop ☹️
 
 What is nice about this is football can be seem as a metaphor for war, an americans are all focused on the war war 😞

I felt this one. Thanks. 
 You’re welcome. 😇 It’s part of an epic adventure 🤣🫂
