Fallen Soldiers

Army cries
Battle wounds
Soldiers die
Where are the tombs?
Why fight?
Freedom hide
Wave the flag
Stars & Stripes
Too many years
When will it end?
Families’ cries
“Hate this war”
“Support our Troops”
“Bring them home”
People Spoken
Not enough
Families’ loss
Children suffer
Babies’ steps
Never seen
Fallen Soldiers
What does it mean?
Widows made
Fallen Soldiers
Mothers missed
Fallen Soldiers
Tears flow
Fallen Soldiers
Life stopped,
Rebirth
College money
Sign the line
Our children
Government Issued
Fallen Soldiers
Starts Again

Published author that writes free verse, prose, poetry, research and most importantly from the heart. My writing has more of an urban point of view and style. Simply because I am an African American that have seen and experienced things that people of other cultures may never see. Though I'm hoping to share reading material that we all could respect and continue to be open minded about.
I'm a husband, father, business owner of BRAYNE, LLC, a clothing company that promotes positivity by way of fashion, a writer, a student and an electronic engineering test technician. Life is busy but I'm striving to live my dreams with my great family that I love deeply. There are times when I feel like a failure. Then I look at how many times I've fallen just to dust myself off and continue running the race. Now I can look around at my life and see that my "failures" were just locked doors that God wasn't ready to open yet.
