Jim Bush is a 61 year old, Vietnam-era veteran, currently living in Katy,Texas. He was raised in a military family. His father received the Silver Star for directing troops while under air attack at Clark Field in the Phillipines, survived the Bataan Death March, and spent three and a half years in a Japanese POW camp. He also received the Purple Heart for wounds received while a POW. Jim served as an army photographer in Okinawa and Korea. In 1987 he traveled to the war zones of Nicaragua with a veteran's group dedicated to stopping the Contra War.
I have rarely heard someone utter the words so eloquently and with so much sensitivity and honesty in speaking of our collective-consciousness. It is very powerful when we become empathic (sic?) and makes us feel so small. Yet, so soulful!
Thank you, again, for your poem.
