o much for the effort, the mission, the cause.

 wrapped myself up in a flag without pause.

xplosions ensured that my ears wouldn’t heal.

ow in the rubble from this last bursting sound

an I see so much clearer, my world so profound-

nding an era of loud... into dark silence I’m bound. 

A Moment of Silence

And, at Last, a Clear View

So much for the effort, the mission, the cause.

I wrapped myself up in a flag without pause.

Listened to every order with zeal.
