Hold On Credit To Sgt.1st Class Andre Anderson

This black earth it holds me back

I only wish that I were home


So you could tell me what was right 


And I could try to change what's wrong


Diyahnnn diyahnnnnnn


It's all the distance between us now


That gives me fear that you are gone


Please hear my heart that beats loud


And just hold onnnnnnn


Just hold on...


If the battles I have lived through 


Were in vain then give me death


In this war there are only losers


As the victors beat their chests


Diyahnnn diyahnnnnnn


I'm just animal in nature


Without knowing I am in your heart


Just not knowing brings out anger 


And it's tearing me apart


Hold on...hold on...


The fertile earth consumes me now


Underneath this great dark cloud


Your last words deeply cut me


From my grave I'll cry out loud!


Diyahnnn diyahnnnnnn


Someone waiting for a Soldier to come home wrote the other anonymous poem


The T-Shirt


Mingling musk


sweat scent


powder punctures


cotton creases


Tears trickle


Away now


save again for later


bring the ache 


tomorrow still gone


another day 


without you



Credit to Sgt.1st Class Andre Anderson of the United States Army for his winning poem.

Response to Air National Guard colonel charged with 110 criminal counts

Air Nation Guard Colonel Gerard Mangis was arrested Wednesday March 5th. He was arrested on the account of having 110 criminal accounts filed against him. The accounts filed against him were conspiracy, honest service wire fraud, false claims against the United States, and theft of government property. I believe that this guy should be stripped of all military decorations on his uniform and every perk that came with it should be disbanded and he should never be set free. This man is a disgrace to military personnel. He is the type of person who joins the military for all the wrong reasons and not for the greater good but only for himself and anything that could help him. For all the active military personnel this makes our military look like some of us are just corrupt bastards that will give out anything just to earn a quick buck in our pockets. When in reality it is true that some will join for the money but some also join to help the greater good. This guy is a disgrace and I hope to high hell that this guy doesn't have a family and if he does I would feel bad for them that they would possibly have the burden to have to deal with this guy’s messed up choices. They would possibly catch the backfire from his poor choices instead of people leaving the weight to only be on the Colonels shoulders if something does start to come down and the family is threatened or treated different. I wouldn't like to see innocent people being treated different by their friends and neighbors just because of what somebody in their family did. But I hope that this guy gets life in a federal prison do to his crimes against the American Government. For more information click here and read more about it.
