A Little Thing Called …

Piece by piece, we pick up our fragmented lives,

Each of us telling himself that we've won.

As soldiers, a 'normal' life, we realize,

Can be nothing but fighting, and we succumb

Eventually, not to war but to the silence that follows.

.

Really short, I know, but that most times is a good thing with poetry. I think it's self-explanatory. The pilots would definitely have trouble coping with a normal life when they've attained peace (note the acronym), perhaps even more so than coping with war. Maybe not more, but certainly as much.

Leave a review, if you want – it'll make me happy :)
