    A Soldiers Thought
    As I lay here in the dirt,
    With blood stains on my shirt.
    I thought about life,
    My kids and my wife.
    I thought about my decision,
    To fight in this division.
    I thought about what would happen if I made it,
    If I got another chance would I take it?
    I thought about the wounded men,
    Would I ever see them again?
    As I hear the gunshots,
    And think these thoughts,
    I think will I ever think again?

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
