METAL MAN

He stood proud and strong
this monument of a bygone man.
His helmet glistened
shield and staff held high.
But I heard his cry
"pigeons be gone
your shit is eroding my metal."

"Silly monument, I said
in my head.
Bygone men were real
made of stronger steel.
The shit they had to bare
certainly did not scare.

They survive through you.
So cut the crap,
for now, it's raining
the shit away.

I'm not against monuments - in fact my poem "The Tale of 2 Rails" is based on a 9/11 monument in the park of my home town. I'm just saying - it's too bad we have to have brave men go to war.

Kathy hug that is so true, it was just a poem jumped into my head for todays world everyone seems to be complaining about the slightest thing. You come across a monument with names of brave men who suffered and bore so much and I thought what the heck are they complaining about.teddybear
