Ya mean the Viet Nam Vets...I worked with 2 guys just 6 months after their tour of duty was complete, both from Colorado, came up to Oregon.....these boys/Men were traumatized..and boy they could drink like loggers bc we were interfacing with Loggers ...we sang Jerry Jeff Walker "Up gainst the Wall Red Neck Mother" 10,000 times. Damged Men...I have had 4-5 hour conversation with David big brother to my dear HS friend ....
where did daddy go ?
i am all about the Woman's movement
The great Goddes is raising
I do know Men get broken too in many ways
I do believe men are completely at a loss to manage their emotions
let alone dare show there brokeness in the light of the days
so here .....is my mini take
broken men sometimes break
their own sons
or bend them
to become just the opposite
you will know...
where did daddy go?
from WW 2
Korea
Viet Nam
the Gulf war
Iraq 1
Afghan
Iraq 2
fuk i just dont know
they came to fight for the patriarchs
patriots are they
boys come from every walk of life
boys are boys they say
pecking orders
alpha males guns, knives
sports, hobbies, passions
cars, girls, wives
one up man ships
fending for self and K rations
drinkings, and killing the next
tender moment that crash's in
boys are simple
yet complex
boys hide our sensitive sides as best we could
i am a bull, and fish solid emotionally exuberant
quiet and dark but i am just a man
bad indifferent sometimes good
i am a boy trying to being a man dance
for peace
where did my daddy go ?
he went to a dark space
un noble impossible to replace
open wounds grow
blood and water flows
one must wonder what men at war see
they come back ...who knows
what eats me
the boys leave full of flags
and self confident in training
and god & country
the men come back dark, distant...ohhh
you might see
the machine eats their souls
these wounds stuffed into
the holes
and the woman and family fight a war they never knew
I’ve seen the damage at the local VFW.

or see
ohhhhh
these men may pretend to be brave
the men stand at attention
look in the mirror and shave
and inside the war makes them absent
flag waving has crushed their own soul
fighting an enemy they will never know
where did daddy go?
