Give Yourself Up

Give Yourself Up

A Poem by Typhoid Kelsey
"

My friend is leaving for the military. I try to understand it.

"

Help me understand why you would

I can't comprehend why you would

I can't conceive how you could

 

Give yourself up

 

Why would you ever want to

What could ever make you want to

Is this what you really want to

 

Give yourself up

 

Into a staged scene

Into the war machine

As a disposable thing

Just a human donation to a

Failing nation and an

Unknown location

 

As an effect of war?
