Book Details
“I Believe”
Before we begin,
You must understand
That this book is a journey
And the words that are spoken here
Should not be treated
Like a grain of sand.
Yes, I am only a man
With a limited life span.
A man who “Chose” to serve his country:
A man who turned into another Forgotten Veteran.
I can be crude and I can be rude,
Yet in “The End” I always aim to be True
Even if that means I end up offending you
With my realistic, GOD-fearing, patriotic points of view.
Yes, I possess a four-letter vocabulary.
Trust me when I say, you are not only going to read about the flowers and bunnies here.
What you are about to read is not going to be easy.
Not for you, not for me and definitely not for the foolhardy.
So try to forgive me for my sins
And I will do my best at forgiving you for yours
Because after ALL we are only human
Trying our best to get by in this F.U.C.K.E.D.*-up world that we have created
Through ALL of our sins.
*(Forbidden Under Crown of King Every Day)
I started writing these words,
Never expecting them to ever be heard.
I wrote them to get them off my chest
Because I desperately needed some peace and rest.
