as a seed in his mothers belly
in time would grow to give birth
on his arrival he was greeted with a slap on his ass
as a young child he would dream
of far off places with a king
in time he would have a paper route where he would shout the names
Tony had grown into a fine young man let the reader understand
this time he wanted to become a Marine
so he was drafted off to Vietnam
getting caught in the ditch smoking marijauna to calm
the tender nerves of brandly new made private
was running from the Viet Cong on Hoochi Ming City
was was anything but pretty
seeing dead bodies next to his tent
he hadn't made a single dent in what he was shortly to become
in time Tony would shine being chosen firts class in line
yet one day he was in a bind cause in a dream
surrounded by aliens creatures from outer space
this perhaps met his fate
they took Tony onboard to check his brain with devices
stripped from his duties for the moment he felt abandoned
gasping for air the aliens felt he really did care
he awaoke to fight once again
this time with new thoughts inside his brain
for many thought the dream was totally insane
yet in a while he would tell stories of when he was a child
for now he was left out in the wild of a different land
yet God had a different plan
　
at the end of his mission he was surrounded by family and friends
let everybody know the places and dreams that he experienced
a rush of cold air came through the auditorium
left alone in his silence of the moment
with tears in his eyes it came as no surprise
that the alien creatures made him very wise
at the very end of the speech he would stand and repeat
a letter from his dearly departed mother
"For he was never a drifter left to shame
yet was my fine son a private with honors,
I so love him with a love beyond comprehension
soon I will see him even though I'm going off to heaven"
not a pin drop in the auditorium for the people knew he was a special man
