@shlew @ranginui thx for giving me the boost to dig it out; never had much confidence in my poetry from college days; prof never liked it! in reply to shlew #

Tribute to Forgotten Soldiers (original poem)

This is an original poem I wrote back in 2003 (I think?) for a college class. I’d seen the Korean War Memorial during a DC trip in June 2001, and two pictures I’d taken had always stuck with me from that trip. This poem was my attempt to capture the thoughts I had from the memorial; it purposefully doesn’t rhyme. Make sure you see the Korean War Memorial the next time you are in DC. I’m posted this at the request of @ranginui and @shlew after mentioning it on Twitter while I was in DC for the Computers in Libraries conference.

Tribute to Forgotten Soldiers

Near the steps of Abeâ€™s old chair
A group of men stand guard,
Frozen in time as they wait
For orders to fight in a far off land.

Stare long enough at one,
And a fog appearsâ€”
The poncho he wears
Now fits the scene.

He waits for his orders
To come through the radio on his back:
Advance, retreat, hold to the 38^th parallel, fireâ€”
Who will not return this day?

â€œWill I be one who dies today?â€ he wonders.
â€œWhat will come out this fog?
My radio is crackling with field reports
As units come under fire.

I should be out in the field
Cutting the fallâ€™s crops,
Spending time with my kidsâ€”
Not in a land of war.

Smells of manure should saturate the air,
As my wifeâ€™s breathing lulls me to sleep,
And weaned calves cry out at the barnâ€”
Not the smells and sounds of death from war.

Why do we have to police the earth,
Protecting all the nations,
When farmers, clerks, and teenagers
Perish here, in the Land of the Morning Call?â€

This man may not have agreed with the conflict
And may not have wanted to be there,
But when Uncle Sam said his name,
He answered dutyâ€™s call.

This soldier and others struggled in fighting
And are remembered in a way,
For their wall and statues can be seen in D.C.,
But who recalls their war?

-Heather Braum, written Fall 2003

@theycallmetater oh and if UK wld be an upset, rooting against them. 🙂 gotta love March. in reply to theycallmetater #
Don't jayhawks typically eat spiders? Let's home this holds true tonight! #rockchalk #kubball #
Brady is on fire tonight!! 8 of KU's 15 pts already. #kubball #
Loving the score & josh finally breaking his slump. Perfect timing! KU 25. Richmond 9. #kubball #
@baldgeekinmd well there is that. Wasn't thinking earlier. I found the slides from your co-presenters but not you. Cld I plz have notes? 🙂 in reply to baldgeekinmd #
@acmorton no way 🙂 Jayhawks eat spiders. Rock Chalk!! #kubball in reply to acmorton #

@comma_police eek!! in reply to comma_police #
@acmorton you shld read this; it's completely accurate on history: If You Root Against Kansas, You Root Against America http://t.co/xyvQiaI in reply to acmorton #
@acmorton saying you shld read that as fellow bb fan. This is y I <3 KU there's some serious history around them, which many don't know abt. #
@acmorton forget the rooting for commentary–it's def biased. Read it for all the history it mentions. It's all true. Even civil war stuff. in reply to acmorton #
@acmorton they got it wrong. Without phog Allen & dean smith playing for him & KU, UNC has nothing on us. 😀 in reply to acmorton #
@acmorton & I'll give you that pt. Funny story about UNC. Our family was in Asheville 3 weeks after 08 win. We all showed up in NC shirts. in reply to acmorton #
@acmorton you got me. But I'll still take coach self now any day over roy. We got the better coach at the end of it all. in reply to acmorton #
Me like the elite eight 🙂 #kubball rock chalk Jayhawks!! KU is elite eight bound! #
@acmorton Lawrence will be rockin tonight. Sorry bout your spiders 🙂 in reply to acmorton #
@ranginui yep. Not interested. I just cheer for the bb team. Don't want to work there. 🙂 in reply to ranginui #
@wizzyrea @ranginui all 3 of my dads siblings + 1 spouse went there in the 60s. Isnt that close enough? 🙂 in reply to wizzyrea #
@mwphillips75 @acmorton 🙂 🙂 in reply to mwphillips75 #
@wawoodworth definitely hogwarts in reply to wawoodworth #
@acmorton pull for KU now, ACC or no ACC! in reply to acmorton #
@wizzyrea #
@wizzyrea 😛 😛 you're getting it Monday morning!! in reply to wizzyrea #
@baldgeekinmd ah ok. Wasn't sure if there were any others. Thanks for the heads up. in reply to baldgeekinmd #
@acmorton KU beat arizona back in November in Lawrence, 87-79. in reply to acmorton #
@acmorton Derrick may be great but does he have supporting cast like KU? KUs top 6 or 7 wld be stars on individual teams but Teams > Stars in reply to acmorton #
@wizzyrea 🙂 I'm so glad you're my friend even when you tease me from a nearby neighborhood thru the interwebs. in reply to wizzyrea #
@acmorton oh I'd love it too. Esp if another 40-12 situation were 2 occur. Still remember vividly moment of disbelief when score hit that pt in reply to acmorton #
@acmorton and we love remembering. It definitely made up for 03's shenanigans and realizing we got a better coach in the end of t all. 🙂 in reply to acmorton #
Going to make it an early night. Sleepy already, even after 3 cups of coffee in the first half of the game. #
