Buahrangers Revetment: Poety and Stories by Vietnam Veteran, Anthony W. Pahl and friends

If I said that light is bright
you’d probably agree;
yet if I said that day is night
you’d look quite strange at me.

But if I said that day is night
and you perceived that I was blind,
you’d likely blink and nod your head
and judge my words sublime.

Comprehension is not the ability
to merely hear or read some words.
The truth in understanding lays
in life seen and lived since birth.

Think slowly on the power
that resides within closed minds
for the talented one may drop the pen
rather than be literally maligned.
