Web of Words: A Collection of Poetry

By Marvin Carey

Written brilliantly and realistically the book is a passionate journey through varied emotions experienced in human life. It voices pain/comfort of loneliness, a yearning for love, belief in a power stronger than ones self, a desire unmatched by mere average thinking, the ability to fight for something greater than one person, and lust that can bring down kingdoms. The rhythm of the writing can convey its message to people from all walks of life and the depth of feelings reflected in the words can touch even the darkest of souls. Partake on a journey with an open heart and mind through each one. Discovering a slew of meanings each time you read again and again.

Military Poetrie

Privates working PT everyday like Hebrew slaves with whips,

it’s not all push-ups you’re gone if you get 3 negative counseling slips,

you get recycled and bicycled back across the tracks with no intentions to quit. Uncle Sam’s getting his money’s worth,

folks been in the Army chosen to do this since birth, raised and trained to kill, the perfect governmental soldier,

with the will to drill the barrel and bayonet through both your shoulders, as they get older,

they’re inside get colder and more stone hearted,

maybe the cats who went through combat

will remember the dearly departed.

Soldiers with tough times and emotions leave it kept in,

the hardest dudes are Military police Active Army it’s no question.

I mean come on,

what do you do when your buddies in a fox hole

with a bullet in his head

and the medic is telling you he’s wounded

but you know he’s really dead,

that’s something a lot of soldiers have to deal with

but most people dread,

all you have to do is kill for the U.S.

And they’ll keep your hungry kids fed.

When you’re in your stuck,

young people be careful where you sign

cause you might be getting f*****,

you’ll find yourself in another country with an M16 tucked

low to the ground killing people you don’t know

just pumping round after round

drop the mag and reload pushing the enemy back till they fold,

with the decision of shooting that innocent 6 yr. old

two grenades taped to her hands,

or die for your country and truly say I did the best that I can,

what would you do? Only a few seconds to choose,

so you pull the trigger, now the war is over or so it seems

you’re back home counting your money living the American dream,

can’t sleep having dream after dream of those blue eyes

hands behind her back listening to her cries

you had to do
