The Front Line

I grew up in a dysfunctional, #warzone.
It was a good old fashioned, charlie foxtrot.
It was,
Every man for himself
I learned to be #stealthy, #sly, #sneaky.
The only skill needed,
#selfpreservation.
I had no remorse throwing my comrades to #thehun.
It was,
every man for himself.
I learned to be stealthy, sly, sneaky.
I wouldn’t have thrown myself on any grenade, not for #anyofthem.
We were never, #brothersinarms.
We sat shoulder-to-shoulder in #thetrenches,
Looking into no man’s land watching
him terrorize the lowest ranks.
The barbed wire couldn’t keep out
this #pathological, virulent father.
