In the darkness, I will wait
My heart has become hollow
My mind, a flurry of disaster
In the solitude, I will reign
Creatures which use the night
Become one with the shadows
At midnight will come a scream
That of release, and not of vengeance

A Memory…
To all a memory,
OF the fallen Heroes
Once they are forgotten
Fallen upon a foreign land
Fighting for a cause
Which no one was sure
Will we remember them?
God has blessed America
Since then he has no longer
It was imbued to our trust
To wipe away all of the tears
Which one is the Marine
Which one is the Marine
Korean War Thank You

The Tragic Truth of War
What we dare not say: Killing the enemy brings victory.
Victory has usually been defined throughout the ages as forcing the enemy to accept certain political objectives. “Forcing” usually meant killing, capturing, or wounding men at arms. In today’s polite and politically correct society we seem to have forgotten that nasty but eternal truth in the confusing struggle to defeat radical Islamic terrorism.
