War Patrol, 2010 work in progress

On Patrol in the Desert... for those who think combat is over in Iraq. It is a work in progress because I am in the process of integrating the following poem into the picture:

The… Penetrated…

Evaporated… Disintegrated…

Eviscerated… Decapitated…

Mind and soul amputated…

Burnt and blown up…

Brain damaged… Bled out and Heart failed…

are here: Section 60 at Arlington.

The smashed and trashed…

who survived the blast but didn’t last or...

suicided at home but were killed elsewhere also have their last deployment here: In Section 60, or …

some variation people “respect and admire” but don’t aspire to (ignoring those who mostly survived and only somewhat died).

On Memorial Day most folks play while only a few caress the tombstones of the angelfied.

The majority know what to do: Stuff your mind with barbecue . . .
