The Last Poem

This is the last poem I'll ever write
on my service to the corps
Sorry if you think I'm a total a*****e
But I can't do it anymore

I've got my reasons and rationals
No need to ask me why
It's just a decision I had to make
So kiss that part goodbye

I'm a US Marine Corps Veteran
and it's memorial day
A past I'm keeping to myself
So I got nothing to say

maybe it is best to go with your gut for now and do what is right for your well being and peace of mind. i support you regardless of what you write, but i think that you know this. you have many genres of writing and many different styles at your disposal, being a many faceted writer with a gift for the written word...therefore, i see much possibility in your future for different and possibly new and exciting venues. this is a great piece in itself, but i think you were going for a statement more than a clever poem. still, well done, my friend.

Salute! Ricochet.. Working hard for country and serving with love and honestly that what Army/Navy/Air Force etc they gain.
Love you last poem, they have some pain which I felt as always you do have material and create one master piece out of it.
You make people think and think and think. Even you word "A*****e" made sense totally.
You have brilliance and capture every single shutter with open eyes.
You guys have patience and have tolerance more than civilians and great at heart with whole respect indeed.

With love and respect,
Singh :)
