Did You Hear The Noise Georgie?

By The Patriot

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Did you hear the noise??Maybe Charlie's in the bushes....Gotta stay alert....FUCK! Georgie get down!!A bullet in the head,Now we're a man down.Signing up was a joy,They said I was brave,They said we would win,As I watch Georgies grave.The heroes come home,To amazing applause,They did their duty,Fought for thier cause.And now where are they?When you turn on your TV?They faded out faces,Of people like me.We cash our welfare,And drink till we cry,And think of the times,We wished we could die.And you sit there,And think war is profound,Its a futile business,See the men on the ground.Now dont talk to me,Of the need for our guns,When you see the dead,And thier fatherless sons.This is about my best friend and compadre Georgie who died in Nam.
