I come from blood.
Blood on blood on bone I come,
From rivers of blood I come.
My momma’s daddy and my daddy’s daddy
Were soldiers in the World War.
And likewise, their fathers before them
Were soldiers in the Great War.
And my daddy was a soldier
In a war that was not his own.
So blood on blood on bone I come,
A son of the Human War.

I like "my daddy was a soldier in a war that was not his own." Are you speaking of a real war here, or a symbolic one?
ReplyDeleteAll wars here are real: My dad was in Vietnam, My grandpas in WWII, my great grandpa in WWI.
