Poster


Plastered up and down the streets

Colors vibrant

Bright messages of glory and honor

Yet the smile seems hollow

As if the fake soldier

Is haunted by the shadows

Of the young men he has lured

To drab identical graves

Most of my stuff is inspired by some of the very somber anti-war poems written after WW1. Others can be on a whim or based off fictional works.
