ARTISTIC HANDS

A stroke of genius with
many hours of practice
Academy trained and ingrained
Can you draw, Rose?

That’s who I am in the real world.
As pigments on paper unfurl
art spirit trumps the military, but
I’m here, not to worry

I’ll draw for you
and make you happy.
Support the war with information
charting deaths for our nation

How many missing? How many dead?
How many driven out of their head?
I hope my work makes it clear
hardly time to get a massage here!
