back from the wars
he battles on inside himself
hors de combat by memory barraged
greater than incoming fire that was
the fire within still burns
and blasts beyond our ken
to the world he is bowed but unbroken
a taciturn tower impenetrable he seems
yet inwardly besieged, fighting an enemy
he alone can see
so he believes
but as before, as in the war
his comrades keep him company
he need not be alone
unless he wishes to be
