Had my VA annual today
Did a CT and an X-ray
My lungs look good my aorta too
My kidney looks like canned beef stew
The doctor said he's concerned a lot
Need to know what made that spot
Ordered another test or two
Need some help to find a clue
Radiology said, "go get in line"
"For six more months you should be fine"
Kidney cancer grows really fast
Six months time I may not last
Now I know why 22 a day
Choose to not live life this way
I felt disposable during the war
Makes me want to even the score
A collection of original poetry from a Vietnam War Veteran, David Rose, who is diagnosed with PTSD by the Veterans Administration. Some of these poems are very personal and dark while others are lighter, but I wanted to make them available to the public as an educational tool to everyone who is interested. The poems are copyrighted, but can be used for any nonprofit reason with credits. It is my sincere wish that someone will find these heart-felt writings useful.
