They came home in a rush
with the pent up lust
of soldiers
returning from war.
Soon they created
a lump of humanity
that disturbed the tranquility
of modern American life.
So the boys were packed up
to relieve the bulge,
a late abortion, so to speak,
and sent to a senseless war.
When they came home
If they came home
those who stayed home
called them all sorts of names.
The left and right
disrupted their lives,
again and again and
sent their children
to more senseless wars.
This time no one called them names.
Progress of sorts.
