Brother-in-arms
Greeted with open arms,
Briefly disarmed
By disarming the ones you love.
But nighttime sounds of armaments
Break through the arms of Morpheus;
Can’t keep the memories of war
At arm’s length.
Thank you for your service*
And how you brought us peace,
Shouldn’t we do more
To help pick up your pieces?
*Title of a thought-provoking movie, which is inspired by true events. The film follows four soldiers returning home from Iraq and their struggles in trying to settle back into civilian life. Main cast: Miles Teller, Amy Schumer, Haley Bennett, Scott Haze, and Beulah Koale
“Break through the arms of Morpheus” love that! I remember seeing the trailer for that movie, but something about it stopped me from trying it out. Glad to hear it was pretty good.

Thanks, the movie is compelling and well done. It’s very touching, sad, and frustrating. Good acting too. I had to look it up to make sure one of the actors is really Any Schumer. I didn’t realize she plays a role that is not a comedy. There was nothing funny in the role she plays or the lines she has.

Life after a disaster is more terrifying than the disaster itself.
Nicely written!
