Today--Tomorrow

*Author’s Note: In this piece I have written in the point of view of someone that is part of the military, on the battle field. I have also played with the format, so let me know what you think. I would categorize this piece as a free verse poem. *

From one p                 t to another,

Our line of life will NEVER be perfectly s   t   r   a   i   g   h   t.

Time flies past us like a bullet in mid air.

Our lives are put in risk, for

Days,

Months,

Years.

From one GUNSHOT to the next,

our side W e a k e n s.

All of the hard work for my country,

S       a      t      r       into pieces.

Our country will come to a   r                          

The stars and stripes shall NEVER be defeated ever again.

One's life is so f r a g i l e, 

any time any place, 

it could be gone, 

FOREVER. 

For others life may START tomorrow, as for me, it ENDS today.
