Call To Arms Eternal soldier, arise, Harken to the battle cries. Years ago, dead and gone, seems rest has not been long. Come now and stand, hear the cry, 'Today again, your brothers may die...' "I answer, I come, brothers mine, Returning through the mists, from an endless journey in time Part of me, timeless, still exists, this ever faithful soul of mine..." © Faye Sizemore February 6, 2003 All Rights Reserved |

In The Shade Of Orange In the Sixties,our troops were sent to a foreign land. My brothers and I went off with a wave of our hand. We were all vowing to be the defending band, the protectors making a great freedom stand. It became a long ,drawn hideous war game, the one needing defending having my name. Thinking the cards had been stacked, for vigilence, not one of us lacked. What we were fighting for, you must see, were the very lives of my brothers and me. Yes,we went to Nam, and took a mighty stand, poured our brothers blood into a foreign land. Searching through leafless jungles, Hearing in the distance the rumbles Of those unseen overhead planes that sprayed the chemical rains. Through the hills and rice paddies and the blazing napalmed trees ah,interesting what hindsight sees, and it sure does not please me! Home ,decades later, that`s where we be, still watching out for my brothers ,plus me, just fighting to survive in this land of the free. gonna live forever... if Agent Orange lets me. ©Faye Sizemore February 19, 2003 All Rights Reserved |
